The programme is divided into a theoretical and applied section, the latter concerning Language Technologies for linguistic analisys data.
The theoretical section will introduce the following themes: word classes and lexical information, basic concepts in semantics and theories on meaning, structure in predicate and arguments (nouns and verbs), verb temporal and aspectual information, combinations of, and interactions between, words.
The applied section, with the help of the tools of information technology, will illustrate the research methodologies in use for linguistic data, in particular for the extraction of words, of combinations of words, and for their different typologies; it will also be devoted to a survey of frequency data which can be drawn from the existing corpora presented in the computer lab.
Dr. Piunno, expert in Language Technologies and corpus linguistics will be in charge of the applied section.

The main focus of the course is the news language.
In a first part, the diverse approaches of the linguistic research developped in this field are presented and compaired, considering the structures and the functions of the mass communication rules.
In the second part, the cognitive pattern is analyzed for explaining the new perspective of the written and spoken corpora studies.

This is an introductive course to sociolinguistics. The epistemological setting of this branch of knowledge will be discussed, and its basic elements and tools will be introduced. Specific attention will be paid to two major sociolinguistic approaches, i.e. correlational and interactional sociolinguistics.

Additional material will be provided during the course.

This course will provide students with an introduction to some of the main topics in philosophy of mind. The course will be broken down into two parts. In the first part, we will look mostly at recent versions of “functionalist” theories of mind. On the basis of that introduction and overview, we shall then discuss a series of very recent debates in the philosophy of mind that centre around the view that the mind is a physical and naturally evolved computational device.

the origins and the open questions of Artificial intelligence
The course is dedicated to the birth of Artificial intelligence which happened more or less together witht the birth of the first electronic computers. The term was invented in 1956, but the discussion around the possibilities and consequences of what was called mechanical or machine intelligence started during the early Fifties and even earlier.
The Famous Turing Test created a huge interest since it was invented and proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing. Many years and many different methods were considered since AI origins, now many perspectives and technologies changed since then, in order to solve problems that required intelligence and problem solving capabilities to be solved.
At present there are many soft bots, many robot and many artificial devices that with the help of algorithms seem to espress intelligence and oblige us to change the concept of intelligence itself, both if applied to humans or to machines.
the most interesting phenomenon is the tendence to attribute to machine intelligent capabilities, mainly when we don't know precisely how the machine works.
This social dimention in attributing intelligence to machines was underlined by Turing too at the very beginning of machine intelligence reflection.
However this characteristic risks to produce unintendend and undesired consequences for human beings. we know that not many ara capable of understanding how to program a deep learning algorithm, and that more and more even programmers ignore how the machine produced the output results, because the layers of calculations are too difficult to follow in details also by those who programmed them. We know that only a small group of programmers and experts know the details. they tend to be trained by the same universities and to be hired by the same few multinational companies.
There are political and social problems that need a solution when we introduce a new AI tool. Innovation is not enough we need to build tools that are fair and useful to promote the development and wellbeing of all humans and not only of a small minority.
the course proposes some methods and histories to understand the political and social dimensions of the technological choices around us, with special regard to AI.

The course of this seminar tends to provide a method. Photography comes from a dialogue with eyes, mind and heart. We will illustrate practical examples taken from both my report and distinguished colleagues. In class some guests will tell their experiences. Finally, practical exercises will not be lacking to deepen what has been learned.

- frontal lessons with reflections and debates with the students
- projection of videos and photographs
- examples of reportage
- list of reference photojournalists
- practical exits
- possible visit to a photojournalism exhibition
- list of optional texts to deepen topics covered

During the course, some preliminary methodological notions (validity, reliability) will be provided, and then qualitative, quantitative and qualitative approaches to psycho-social research will be presented and distinguished.
As to the qualitative approach, methods with low researcher’s intrusiveness will be presented such as observation, qualitative interview, and focus-groups; During the course, different possibilities for coding of qualitative data (ie paper and pencil or semi-automatic) will be presented. As to quantitative approaches, the different phases of constructing structured questionnaires (ie attitude scales) will be illustrated also checking the distorting effects; a special part will be dedicated to the experiment: in this regard, various experimental designs will be presented through concrete case studies, providing preliminary knowledge of data analysis through the use of software such as spss. Finally, the main psychometric properties of psychological tests will be described but also the interpretation of the scores through standardized test examples.

This class of Neurosciences of Communication and Language will explore the neural and cognitive correlates of communication and language processing. After introducing the notion of communicative competence (both verbal and non-verbal), the focus will be shifted to the analysis of the structural and cognitive characteristics of human language highlighting the interactions among different cognitive systems (e.g., perception, memory, attention, executive functions) and language. Lastly, the most recent cognitive models of langauge production and comprehension will be discussed in light of evidence coming from neuroimaging studies of patients with brain injuries and healthy individuals.

This course will provide students with an introduction to clinical cognitive neuroscience. In the mid-1980s this project started to influence psychiatry. Pioneering exemplars of a psychiatry driven by cognitive neuroscience include: Baron-Cohen, Frith and Leslie’s hypothesis that high-functioning autism can be explained in terms of deficits to the mechanisms underlying mindreading; Frith’s definition of schizophrenia as late-onset autism; Ellis and Young’s neuropsychological account of the delusional misidentifications; and Blair’s explanation of psychopathic behavior as due to the absence or malfunctioning of a violence inhibition mechanism. Since then the hope has grown that psychiatry can cease to rely exclusively on the signs and symptoms of clinical phenomenology to finally become a clinical cognitive neuroscience, i.e., a research program that conceives psychiatric disorders as dysfunctions of neurocomputational mechanisms.

The course focuses on language pathologies, with particular attention to the deficits related to the discursive communication. Among the cases discusses, there are the communicative deficits characterizing pathologies such as autism, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury. In such cases, as well as in many neuropsychological and psychopathological disorders, the communicative impairments mainly concern the level of discourse and depend on deficits that primarily involve the cognitive dimension, rather than the linguistic one. Thus, the study of discourse disorders is particularly useful to investigate a more general question that is extremely relevant from a theoretical point of view: the relationships between language and cognition.

formal languages and models of computations

The course will address the relationships between technology, science and philosophy.
Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.

Urban knowledges
The course will investigate the relation between the urban spaces and the different forms of belonging and participation, that is citizenship. In order to update the couple city-citizenship, the course will provide the principal and transdisciplinary tools - in philosophy, legal studies, sociology, geography, politics - in a comparative approach.

As a preliminary suggestion, see:

The lectures treat with the issue of the language faculty by taking into account the interpretive models prevalent in cognitive sciences. In an evolutionary perspective that takes into account the empirical results from cognitive psychology, cognitive ethology and neurosciences, the lectures deal with the biocognitive foundation of language and how it is relevant for the study of human nature.

RUSSIA, AN EMPIRE
The course will focus on empire as a peculiar element of continuity in contemporary Russian history despite the radical changes that the country has undergone. The unique characteristics of Russia’s imperial model will be analyzed in its various forms and manifestations, along with the diverse political strategies of Russian governors between 1800 and 1900s, from the Russian Empire through the USSR to the Russian Federation. The national question, the broader geographical dimension, the forms of government, foreign policies and international geopolitical visions will be studied in depth. The different imperial ideologies will also be examined.
