Learning outcomes

This course aims at providing the students with basic notions about the various properties of human language as a cognitive faculty and about natural languages, with special focus on the different levels of linguistic analysis.

Program

The lessons aim at investigating language from different perspectives. The students are introduced to the principles governing the structure words (morphology) and sentences (syntax) and their interpretation (semantics). Furthermore, the course offers an overview of the mechanisms underlying language acquisition and language processing.

Examination Methods

The exam has the aim of verifying the theoretical competence acquired by the students and their ability to apply it to the description of various linguistic phenomena at the different levels of linguistic analysis.
The exam is only written: it is a teste composed of 10-12 questions (multiple choice and open-ended). Depending on the number of open-ended questions, the duration of the exam can vary, ranging between 60 and 90 minutes. The questions will be about all the topics in the program, discussed during classes and autonomously studied by the students on the available materials.

The evaluation criteria are the following:
- correctness and exhaustivity of the responses;
- adequate analytical ability;
- argumentation efficacy and clarity.

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