Philosophy

The German Linguistics course taught by the lecturer (21 hours) aims to introduce the cultural, phonetic, phonological, morphological and lexical bases of the German language. In the first part of the course, a general overview of the German language and culture is given, and the inventory of German sounds (vocalism and consonantism), the main phonological rules, the rules for transcribing words, the relationship between spelling and pronunciation are presented, also in the form of practical exercises. The second part of the course deals with the morphological and lexical structure of German, in particular the classification of morphemes (by position and function), the description of the main morphological processes (inflection, composition, derivation, conversion) and the stratification of the lexicon. The linguistic topics will always be presented in a German-Italian contrastive key in order to start a metalinguistic reflection that helps the student to acquire the formal characteristics of the German language.

No German language skills are required, but those who have already studied the language will be able to deepen their knowledge; a good knowledge of Italian grammar will be useful.

The course combines lectures by the lecturer and tutorials by the native speaker. The teacher's German Linguistics lessons will take place through frontal lectures to facilitate the learning of the theoretical-formal knowledge necessary for the university study of the German language, while the tutorials carried out by the mother tongue readers, which aim at the learning of A2 level language skills, will be carried out through different didactic methods aimed at the acquisition and practice of language skills: classroom and laboratory exercises, guided self-study, individual and group work, role play, various use of telematic supports. Attendance is not compulsory but strongly recommended for both the lectures given by the teacher and the practical exercises given by the mother tongue readers.
