MM: SEMEIOTICA DELLA COMUNICAZIONE E DEL LINGUAGGIO
------------------------
Syllabus The following concepts will be discussed: ➢ Linguistic and communicative competence ➢Communication: definition, parameters and degrees of sophistication, the communication channel definition ➢Verbal and nonverbal communication, proxemics, the haptic, the suprasegmental traits. ➢Anatomical and physiological basis of speech and language: ° Input mechanisms: the parameters of auditory perception, the acoustic optimization process. ° CNS and cortical areas of language. The hemispheric dominance, brain plasticity, the critical periods. ° Output mechanisms: the phono-articulatory organs.

the exam will be in writing
------------------------
MM: FISICA ACUSTICA
------------------------
Remote examination, via Zoom link.
------------------------
MM: SEMEIOTICA DELLA COMUNICAZIONE E DEL LINGUAGGIO
------------------------
The exam consists of a written test based on open-ended questions. In response questions, it is required the ability to match the synthesis and clarity. Each of the open questions is evaluated from 0 to 10 points, according to: a) relevance of the answer b) ability to synthesize c) properties of language
