Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher:
GIUSEPPE CANZONERI
Expected Learning Outcomes
According to the Dublin descriptors, at the end of my course, students 1) will acquire a general knowledge of the concepts and methods of the discipline;
2)
on the basis of this knowledge, will be able to understand and discuss
linguistic hypotheses starting from the observation of texts and
examples;
3) will be able to effectively select and consult the most recent tools of Italian and foreign lexicography.
Through laboratory activities, students will:
• acquire the necessary phonetic transcription skills (useful for example in consulting any dictionary, Italian or foreign);

• understand and represent the syntactic structure of Italian sentences, comparing Italian with other languages.
