Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology

The course is divided into two parts. In the first part, the structural peculiarities of Italo-romance dialects will be presented. In the second part, thanks also to the reading of ancient and modern texts, the phonetic, morphological and morphosyntactic characteristics of some specific areas will be explored; the most interesting phenomena will be described in terms of diachronic evolution and/or synchronic functioning. IMPORTANT: students with a non-Italian mother tongue (Erasmus project, bilateral internships, etc.) as well as those who have never taken exams in the field of Italian linguistics (sector L-FIL-LET-12) must contact the professor at the reception to agree a personalized program. The same applies to students who have already taken a master's level dialectology exam, who will also have to agree on a personalized program but only for what concerns the first part of the course.

A good knowledge of Latin and of the notions taught in the bachelor module “Istituzioni di storia della lingua italiana” are required.
