Learning Objectives

For those who have already studied the fundamentals of linguistics, the Course aims at encouraging them to reflect on language change and conservation, providing them with 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 to provide the background information needed to understand the development of the notions of ‘phrase’ and ‘sentence’ in the history of linguistic thought, with special regard to parsing.
