Learning outcomes
The seminar aims to inform students about a specific subfield of contact linguistics. The goal is providing participants with: a) knowledge of the main situations of linguistic contact; b) knowledge of the criteria for identifying linguistic contact; c) the ability of analyzing specific situations of linguistic contact in urban areas, with a particular focus on Trentino.
After the seminar participants will be able to:
1. report about the most relevant studies on linguistic contact;
2. define criteria for identifying contact phenomena;
3. recognize and discuss phenomena resulting from linguistic contact;
4. compare various situations of linguistic contact;
5. evaluate the role of contact with respect to phenomena of linguistic change;
6. discuss various examples of linguistic contact in the local urban environment.
In terms of broad competences, the active participation in the seminar will help students: i) learn how to discuss a scientific subject within a group; ii) organize a presentation on a scientific subject, describing collected data and providing a reasoning for the results; iii) write a short paper on a specific topic applying the correct textual criteria.
