Learning objectives

Part I. Expected results: At the end of the course the students will be able to: - Analyze the phrasal structures of the German language in the framework of generative grammar - To make sense of theoretical explanation in order to i) distinguish between grammatical norm and description of "linguistic competence" and ii) open a new perspective of com-parative analysis, in particular between German and the student's native language. Part II. Expected results: - Applying the linguistic analysis skills acquired during the course to dialectal variation with particular reference to Cimbrian, a Germanic minority language spoken in the Trentino Region; - Evaluating the importance of theoretical anal-ysis for the development of a grammatical norm.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The student must have attended an introductory course or at least a module on syntactic analysis in the theoretical framework of generative grammar.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

At the end of the course there will be a workshop in which attending students will give a presentation on one of the topics included in the program, agreed with the teacher. The degree of detail, the originality of the contribution and the style of presentation will be evaluated. Non-attending students are required to submit a written report, on a topic related to the course, agreed with the teacher. Alternatively, an oral interview of about 20 minutes is foreseen in which the student will have to demonstrate that she/he is able to analyze a standard German sentence and its translation into a dialectal variety with the tools provided during the course
