Learning objectives
The main aim is to introduce the themes of textual syntax from the point of view of theoretical linguistics and pragmatics (cohesion and coherence of the text, anaphora, deixis, information structure). We start from more general considerations on the concept of language and on the centrality that the reflection on language has being having - and continues to have - in the contemporary cultural debate. Through online tests appropriately distributed and corrected during class some linguistic themes useful for the training of the teacher's cultural and professional figure will be reinforced. EXPECTED FORMATIVE RESULTS The course aims to provide students with a critical thinking about the fundamental concepts and methods of linguistics for the cultural and professional enrichment of the humanistic intellectual. At the end of the course the student must be able to: • describe the basics of language study; • recognize the fundamentals of the syntax of the text and of the information structure • know how to apply the acquired knowledge in the future study career.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Fundamentals of glottology and linguistics.
Those of you who find yourselves never having taken courses in glottology and linguistics will be able to agree on an exam that will enable you to catch up on that knowledge. I encourage you, if you can, to attend, even if in the first few classes the level seems too dense and complicated.
Program
1 - General glottology and text. The concept of text from the point of view of the theories on language: historical roots, foundational texts, recent perspectives
2 - Institutional
2.1 Text, linguistics and grammar. General linguistics and grammar, with in-depth analysis of some categories (commentary lessons and integration of the manual indicated in the bibliography [Graffi-Colombo]).
2.2 Lexicon and lexical categories (classroom work).
# Reading. Students are asked to choose a reading from a classic of linguistics, to be agreed with the teacher on the basis of a list provided in the moodle course or other suitable texts.
_____________
## Historical Sciences: the program can be modified by agreement with the teacher. A possible alternative scheme includes:
1. History of linguistic thought (historical periods of your choice).
2. Language, languages and ideologies.
3. Onomastics.
___________ (Contributes to objectives 4,7 and 4.c of the 2030 agenda)
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Classroom lectures, collaborative readings, online and classroom exercises, seminars.
§Absence: the lessons that could not be attended can be made up in collaboration with the teacher and with study colleagues.
#Non-attendings: Those who cannot attend are invited to agree on a study program with the teacher.
Learning assessment procedures
- Final interview.
- Classworks (absolved during the class period).
## All students, unless reasoned arrangements are made, are required to prepare for the final interview. Through term paper or reports, part of the exam requirements can be absolved (contact lecturer).
-- -- --
§§ Information for *the preparation of the exam*
Non-attenders: complete preparation of assigned and agreed upon texts is required.
---
As a study orientation, consider the exam as a whole structured into four blocks.
J- Inividual study of the indicated textbook (Colombo-Graffi)
IJ- Lecture study (notes and moodle materials)
IIJ- Classroom work. Those who actively participate do not have to talk about this part during the exam, those who prefer to take everything to the exam must agree on the study with the lecturer.
IV- Reading. Agreed with the lecturer, it should be given at the exam in 8 min. maximum (strict limit), with or without a projectable aid (alternatively, less recommended, a written report can be submitted, in terms to be agreed with the lecturer).
Evaluation criteria
The exam tests and evaluates:
1- contents and insights presented and offered during lectures and in the required bibliography;
2- the ability to apply the knowledge learned;
3- the maturity in connecting the proposed topics, in arguing one's answers, and in reflecting critically on them;
4- the property of expression: relevance, promptness, conciseness, accuracy;
5- the degree of independence achieved in finding and comparing the indicated sources and any additional sources for study.
# While considering the complexity of the subject, each of the points will be equally relevant to the final assessment.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade depends entirely on the final interview. The ongoing work completes the applicative part of the class and does not affect the final grade.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
