Modern humanities

A) Knowledge and understanding - Students will be required to demonstrate having acquired a theoretical and methodological knowledge and a thorough understanding of the linguistic subjects presented and discussed during the course, with the support of intermediate level textbooks and other bibliographic resources. The intermediate level implies a basic knowledge of the subject. B) Applying knowledge and understanding - Students will be able to apply autonomously and critically the acquired knowledge to the linguistic phenomena outlined during the course; they will possess adequate skills both to describe and analyze texts, processes and linguistic structures, and to support arguments and solve even relatively complex problems, in relation to the specific linguistic areas investigated. C) Making judgements - Students will be able to express autonomously critical opinions on relatively complex linguistic subjects; they will be able to identify the appropriate tools for description and analysis of written and oral linguistic data investigated. D) Communication skills - Students will be able to demonstrate to possess the ability to clearly present relatively complex hypotheses, concerning the linguistic areas outlined in the course, and to discuss and defend the conclusions presented both at a theoretical and methodological level. E) Learning skills - Students will develop the skills necessary to undertake further linguistic studies with a good degree of autonomy.
