The course will be divided into two parts.

Part will deal with the following topics:
- basic notions of morphology (derivational and inflectional morphemes, main processes of word formation);
- basic notions on the structure and the semantics of the lexicon (word classes and their main properties, word formats and collocations, word meaning, types of meaning and meaning relations among words, componential analysis);
- text analysis (cohesion, types of connectives, relations among clauses);

Part II will deal with the following topics:
- basic notions of syntax (types of phrases, grammatical functions and the valence of the verb);
- basic notions of sentence semantics and of pragmatics (definition of, and distinction between, semantics and pragmatics, linguistic and situational context, information structure, linguistics acts, presuppositions and implicatures).
