Program

"German morphological system. An introduction to morphological analysis"

The course does not require specific pre-knowledge in the linguistics field. It introduces the main concepts of morphology, such as morpheme, morph, allomorph and morphological productivity. Topics of discussion include the morphological system of Standard German, in particular word-formation processes such as derivation, conversion, composition, the inflectional system and non-concatenative morphology (ablaut, umlaut, truncation). The morphological structures of German will be compared to the Italian structures. Part of the programme are practical exercises in morphological analysis.
Note: the course is taught in German.
The "studenti non frequentanti" are kindly requested to take contact with the teacher of the course for the discussion of different learning material.

Teaching methods: frontal and interactive lessons
