Program

The course will deal with the varieties of German from a mainly synchronic perspective in view of diatopic and diamesic, but also diaphasic and diastratic variation. The first part of the course will be dedicated to the introduction of the concepts of variety and variation in the different dimensions and to the differences between standard and sub-standard varieties of German, also through brief historical references.
In the second part of the course, standard varieties and their role in the institutional, socio-cultural and commercial perspective will be analysed in detail by means of authentic material, including multimedia (written texts, audio, video), in order to highlight their salient features. The concept of diamesic variation will then be introduced with particular reference to the differences between written and spoken language and to gesprochene Sprache. This part will also be of an applied nature and will take into consideration texts and materials relevant to the educational objectives and professional perspectives of the degree course.
