SEMITIC PHILOLOGY

The course aims to consolidate the language and communication skills acquired in previous years through the study of a semitic language and the code switching in different social contexts.

A specific ancient Semitic language is closely examined, by reading a fair selection of texts of different typologies with a careful philological analysis.

In the a. year 2016/2017 the course will be on Biblical Hebrew.
