Learning objectives

On completion of this course, students: – will have acquired contents of Spanish linguistics, in particular variational, in a synchronic and diachronic perspective; – will be able to recognize and apply the treated aspects to the analysis of written texts or oral productions; - will be familiar with the main resources of the Hispanic variational linguistics, including digital ones. Furthermore, C2 language level of competence in Spanish (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is also required.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Before taking the exam, it is mandatory to have a C2 certification in Spanish.

Program

This course is dedicated to the diatopic variation of Spanish, with particular reference to its Hispano-American varieties.
The approaches of dialectology and linguistic geography will be presented and applied to the analysis of texts and case studies. Moreover, during the course students will learn to know and use the tools —including digital ones— specific to these disciplines, such as linguistic atlases.
Topics:
1. Linguistic variation: dialects, sociolects, registers, technolects and styles.
2. Macrodialects of Spanish.
3. European dialects of Spanish.
4. The Spanish language in/of America.
5. American dialects of Spanish.
6. Differential and variety dictionaries.
7. Linguistic atlases.

Didactic methods

Classes with a theoretical and practical approach.
N.B.: there is one syllabus for attending students (min. 75% attendance) and one for non-attending students.
Methods of teaching support:
Guidelines and teaching materials will be uploaded in the Moodle platform of the module. In addition, the lecturer is available during his office hours for support, which can also be arranged via ZOOM if necessary.
Finally, specific support and tutoring activities are available for inclusion and accessibility, with particular regard to the Language and Literature courses in the French, English, Russian, Spanish and German areas. The activities will take place from November 2022 to June 2023. More information will be available on the Department's webpage.

Learning assessment procedures

For students who attend classes regularly, there will be an in-progress assessment (intermediate tests) and a final 60-minute written test in Spanish to be taken during the examination dates. The test will consist of open questions and linguistic analyses of texts. Examination topics: 1) theoretical and practical questions covered during the lectures; 2) bibliography for attending students; 3) teaching materials and texts used during the lectures.
For non-attending students, the examination consists of a 90-minute written test in Spanish, to be taken during the examination dates. The test will consist of open questions and linguistic analysis of texts. Examination topics: bibliography for non-attending students.
All students, and in particular non-attending students, are invited to submit their doubts to the lecturer during his office hours.
All the published information also applies to Erasmus students, who are in any case invited to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the course.
Language proficiency required:
A language proficiency of C2 level is required, corresponding to 3 of the 9 CFUs of the module.
The language proficiency test is based on the certificates issued by the CLA (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo) or the Instituto Cervantes and it is preliminary to the examination with the teacher. As indicated in the “Vademecum normativo per gli studenti dell'Area di Lingue e Letterature Straniere”, the validity of the C2 language certificate is six years from the date of achievement.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

Breadth of knowledge and skills acquired; clarity and precision of answers; effectiveness of the expression of answers and terminological accuracy.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade in thirtieths will be obtained from the arithmetic mean between the exam grade and the language proficiency grade (converted into thirtieths according to the indications given in the “Vademecum normativo per gli studenti dell'Area di Lingue e Letterature ”). The results will be communicated to those enrolled in the test via the ESSE3 platform.
