Particularly,the general skills in theoretical linguistics will be applied to specific natural languages, with a particular regard towards extra-European languages. This course deals with the phenomenon of linguistics contact, discussing the main effects it may produce with respect to linguistic change, not only at lexical level, but, most importantly, at more structured levels as morphology, syntax and phonology. As for the consequences of the linguistic contact, the relationship between universal drifts and specific historical and sociological biases will be carefully examined.
