Modern humanities

The course will offer an introduction to Italian dialectology (and sociolinguistics). After making the students acquainted with the scope and aim of Italian dialectology, fundamental notions of the discipline such as the distinction between language and dialect, the methods and instruments of the dialectological analysis, and variationist and sociolinguistic approaches to the study of dialects, we will explore the most characteristic phenomena of core areas of Italo Romance (sometimes taking a diachronic perspective).

The course is addressed to second/third year students. A good knowledge of Latin and the notions taught in the first-year module “Istituzioni di storia della lingua italiana” are required.

NB: students with a non-Italian mother tongue (Erasmus project, bilateral internships, etc.), as well as students who have never taken exams in the L-FIL-LET-12 sector (Italian linguistics), must contact the teacher to agree a personalized program.

The course will take place weekly, starting from the last week of September, and amount to a total of 42 hours.

Attending classes, while not compulsory, is recommended.

The exam will consist of an oral examination lasting approximately 30 minutes, divided into two parts. In the first part, which will last approximately 20 minutes, students will be questioned on the “structural” section of the course, with reference to the contents of Loporcaro's book and the topics covered in depth during the lessons. in the second part (approximately 10 minutes), students will be asked to discuss the essays by Berruto on “sociolinguistic” topics contained in the volume edited by Sobrero. Students who did not attend the course may also be questioned on the essays by Telmon and Sanga contained in this same volume. To pass the exam, students must obtain a mark of at least 18/30. To achieve a pass mark, students must demonstrate that they have acquired a basic knowledge of the course content. To achieve the maximum mark (30 with honours), students must demonstrate that they can confidently explain the topics covered, using appropriate terminology; they must also demonstrate that they are able to connect different parts of the programme in a coherent and logical way.
