GLOTTOLOGIA

For those who have already studied the fundations of the discipline:

the course aims to make people reflect with historical awareness on the dynamics of the change and conservation of languages and provide concrete tools and methods of analysis. The reference to some case studies such as multilingualism in Sicily in medieval times will allow to introduce students into the research lab of the teacher and to show them a research in progress. The course also aims at providing the students with a first introduction to Indo-European linguistics, with special regard to Indo-Europeanization (the process of spread and proliferation of Indo-European languages and cultures) in prehistoric times.

Traditional and shared lessons and classroom application exercises.

The course is divided into three modules:

1. Linguistic change (2 ECTS).
