FRENCH LITERATURE First Semester 8 FRAN-01/A ita

Learning objectives

The French literature course for Master's students aims to deepen the knowledge and refine the analytical (i. e. stylistic, philological, rhetorical and hermeneutic) tools acquired during the Licence. The monographic programme focuses on the reading and in-depth study of a particular genre, author or work. The aim is to deepen the theoretical knowledge and notions of literary history previously assimilated, with a view to putting them to active use. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. The course also aims to introduce students to the methodology of scientific research and the preparation of a research project. The course will therefore provide students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (1: knowledge and understanding, and 2: applying knowledge and understanding) and the expressive ones to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements), as well as to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills) and extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).

PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY Second Semester 8 GLOT-01/A ita

Learning objectives

Phonetics and Phonology is a deepening (during specialized studies) of General Linguistics (taught in L-10). The class is aimed at analyzing the vocal behavior of speakers. The vocal behavior of speakers is an integral part of their linguistic behavior. The ultimate goal is always to develop predictive (non-normative) rules necessary to build the grammar of a given language. But to make reliable predictions, you need to be able to measure the starting data. In order to obtain reliable and measurable data, just listening to linguistic sounds is absolutely inadequate for the purpose. Auditory perception must be accompanied by methodological tools and acoustic measurement techniques. It is therefore necessary to study the acoustics of linguistic sounds, as well as the anatomical physiology that produces them. Traditionally, these two approaches are called acoustic phonetics and articulatory phonetics, respectively: both will be taught.
In addition to Phonetics, Phonology will be taught. The phonological component (as well as the phonetic one) should already be well known and defined to the learners, who in the Bachelor’s degree have taken the exam of General Linguistics. During the Master's Degree, with the class of Phonetics and Phonology, the learner will deepen and learn further methodologies and analysis techniques specifically dedicated to Phonology. In particular, auto-segmental phonological models and the relationships between intonation and pragmatics will be discussed.
In compliance with the so-called "Dublin indicators" – as better detailed in the "Evaluation" field – the objectives will be aimed at achieving:
1) Knowledge and comprehension skills: ability to transcribe in I.P.A. a sample of speakers
2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific phonology from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different phonological models that account in a different and competing way for the same set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
4) Communication skills: ability to communicate the reasons for the comparative judgment referred to in point 3)
5) Learning skills: ability to orient oneself in the relevant scientific bibliography.

Learning objectives

The course aims to develop students' competence at a Master’s level in the linguistic/discursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:

1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.

2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the issues mentioned above.

Learning objectives

The course aims to deepen literary aspects and problems and to provide critical skills in the analysis of significant works. Through the analysis of texts according to precise critical methodologies and thanks to the connection to the relative historical and cultural context, students will be able to understand and evaluate the literary quality of the works they have read and commented on with full autonomy of judgement. Specifically, the learning outcomes should be:
1) to know the main features and characteristics relating to coeval English literature and culture;
2) to be able to analyse and comment on the texts in question;
3) to be able to formulate judgements on the subject autonomously;

5) to be able to understand and interpret similar literary phenomena not covered in the syllabus.

Learning objectives

1) Knowledge and Understanding
By the end of the course, students will have acquired an in-depth knowledge of the main concepts of linguistic and semiotic theory relevant to defining the object “language” and “historical-natural languages” (code, sign, signal, arbitrariness, duality of articulation, metalinguistic function, vagueness), with particular reference to the notion of linguistic creativity as a constitutive property of the verbal system.

They will be able to understand the implications of linguistic creativity in communicative processes, language contact and migration contexts, as well as in teaching and learning processes, with specific attention to meaning-making and learner interlanguages.

Students will also develop a critical understanding of the evolution of the concept of language education within the framework of plurilingualism and of the dynamics related to the dissemination of Italian abroad.

2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding
Students will be able to apply the theoretical categories acquired to the analysis of concrete linguistic and educational phenomena, interpreting situations of language contact, plurilingual dynamics, and learning processes in different contexts (national and international).

They will be able to use the theoretical models studied to design, evaluate, and discuss language education interventions consistent with a creative and plurilingual conception of language teaching, including with reference to the teaching of Italian abroad.

3) Making Judgements
By the end of the course, students will have developed the ability to formulate independent and well-argued judgements on language education policies and practices, assessing their theoretical foundations, methodological implications, and socio-cultural impact.

They will be able to critically reflect on the role of language in identity formation, cultural and economic processes, and to interpret with awareness the dynamics underlying the global diffusion and attractiveness of Italian.

4) Communication Skills
Students will be able to present clearly, rigorously, and appropriately — also through the use of the specialized terminology of educational linguistics — the theoretical content and issues addressed in the course.

They will be able to participate actively and thoughtfully in scholarly debate, articulating their positions effectively and interacting competently in academic and professional contexts related to language teaching and intercultural mediation.

5) Learning Skills
The course promotes the development of metalinguistic and metacognitive competences that enable students to pursue further study autonomously in the fields of educational linguistics, language teaching, and plurilingualism studies.

The ability to integrate theoretical and applied perspectives and to situate linguistic phenomena within complex socio-historical frameworks provides the foundation for further research, advanced training, or professional specialization.

of learning skills should be additional valuable qualities of graduates.

Learning objectives

Phonetics and Phonology is a deepening (during specialized studies) of General Linguistics (taught in L-10). The class is aimed at analyzing the vocal behavior of speakers. The vocal behavior of speakers is an integral part of their linguistic behavior. The ultimate goal is always to develop predictive (non-normative) rules necessary to build the grammar of a given language. But to make reliable predictions, you need to be able to measure the starting data. In order to obtain reliable and measurable data, just listening to linguistic sounds is absolutely inadequate for the purpose. Auditory perception must be accompanied by methodological tools and acoustic measurement techniques. It is therefore necessary to study the acoustics of linguistic sounds, as well as the anatomical physiology that produces them. Traditionally, these two approaches are called acoustic phonetics and articulatory phonetics, respectively: both will be taught.
In addition to Phonetics, Phonology will be taught. The phonological component (as well as the phonetic one) should already be well known and defined to the learners, who in the Bachelor’s degree have taken the exam of General Linguistics. During the Master's Degree, with the class of Phonetics and Phonology, the learner will deepen and learn further methodologies and analysis techniques specifically dedicated to Phonology. In particular, auto-segmental phonological models and the relationships between intonation and pragmatics will be discussed.
In compliance with the so-called "Dublin indicators" – as better detailed in the "Evaluation" field – the objectives will be aimed at achieving:
1) Knowledge and comprehension skills: ability to transcribe in I.P.A. a sample of speakers
2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific phonology from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different phonological models that account in a different and competing way for the same set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
4) Communication skills: ability to communicate the reasons for the comparative judgment referred to in point 3)
5) Learning skills: ability to orient oneself in the relevant scientific bibliography.

Learning objectives

relation to their graphic aspect, whether they are books, inscriptions, documents or writings
of an individual and private nature.
Applying knowledge and understanding: The student, thanks also to the exercises, at the end
of the course will be able to identify the different epigraphic, book and documentary writings,
dating and localizing them, to analyze single written testimonies, reading them critically and
transcribing them correctly, recognizing alphabetic and accessory signs (interpunctives,
orthographic and critical, numeral digits, etc.) and decipher the related compendia.
Making judgments: The student will acquire the tools to deal independently and critically
with epigraphic, literary and documentary handwritten texts and to deepen their knowledge
on the subjects of the discipline.
Communication skills: Students will be able to communicate clearly and correctly, even to
non-specialists, the knowledge and skills acquired, the subject of Paleography, its
methodology and its purposes.
Learning skills: Students will have acquired the tools and skills to continue the study of the
discipline independently.

Travel literature and visual travel records, particularly those concerning the Orient, represent a valuable documentary source for understanding complex historical realities. At the same time, they have contributed to consolidating stereotyped visions within so-called Western culture that are far removed from actual reality. This phenomenon has been extensively analyzed following the publication of Edward Said’s seminal essay Orientalism (1978) and the rich critical debate that ensued.
Focusing on travel documentation in Iran and neighboring areas across different historical periods, the course aims to provide students with the methodological tools to: (1) Identify the construction of negative alterity (otherness) in European travel writings concerning Western and Central Asia; (2) Examine the socio-cultural reality of the Iranian world across the various historical periods covered, through the accounts of diverse types of Italian travelers; (3) Understand the interdisciplinary value of the historical, geographical, and anthropological information conveyed by travel literature (hodeporic sources); (4) Evaluate the impact of the travelers' socio-cultural and ideological backgrounds on their interpretations and testimonies.

Learning objectives

The French literature course for Master's students aims to deepen the knowledge and refine the analytical (i. e. stylistic, philological, rhetorical and hermeneutic) tools acquired during the Licence. The monographic programme focuses on the reading and in-depth study of a particular genre, author or work. The aim is to deepen the theoretical knowledge and notions of literary history previously assimilated, with a view to putting them to active use. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. The course also aims to introduce students to the methodology of scientific research and the preparation of a research project.
