| GENERAL LINGUISTICS 1
(objectives)
(1A) Knowledge of the basic concepts of linguistics, such as, for example, phoneme, morpheme, phrase structure, lexeme. Comprehension of the distinction between the different levels of linguistic analysis. Development of the ability to use in a simple but correct and rigorous way the methodologies of linguistics, such as commutation tests and tree diagrams.
(1B) Knowledge of the basic notions and aspects of lexicon semantics, argument and sentential structure, speech acts; knowledge of the major languages families; basic notion of comparative and typological analysis. Language classifications (genetic comparison, typology and language contact), advanced reflection on the different levels of linguistic analysis, including the relation (“interfaces”) between formal, semantic and pragmatic aspects of languages.

(syllabus)
The main objective of this course (Parts A+B) is to introduce students into the study of the theory and methods of General Linguistics – a subject having a crucial importance in the relevant “Corso di Laurea Triennale”. To this purpose, the basic notions of linguistics are illustrated – though at an elementary level, integrating theory with the discussion of examples and class exercises.
In particular, this B Part will deal with the following topics:
- Linguistic universals. Principles and Parameters.
- Categories and Functions; the notion of “word”.
- Syntactic analysis: constituency tests, phrase structure, phrasal “heads”, the head-complement parameter.
- Interfaces: interaction between syntax and the other levels of the grammar (lexicon, semantics, morphology and pragmatics)
- Verb valency. Arguments vs. adjuncts; argumental roles.
- Sentential structure; clausal types; null and expletive subject.
- Basic notions of pragmatics, Speech acts; Information structure.
- Major language families, genealogy classification of languages and their origin.
- Typological classification of languages; morphologic and syntactic typology. Comparative analysis.Ergativity
