Learning outcomes
The course aims to present the main theoretical models dealing with the analysis of meaning and of the mechanisms underlying its comprehension. After the course, students will be aware of the main problems concerning the explicit and implicit dimension of meaning, in written text, but also in spoken interaction. Faced with linguistic data, students will be able to apply different models developed in the fields of semantics, cognitive linguistics and pragmatics, and to identify all the levels on which signification occurs, integrating lexical and discourse components with variables of the context. They will be able to retrieve and compare data from different languages, and to explain phenomena of understanding, translation and misunderstanding both at the intralingual level and at the interlinguistic level. They will also be able to organize a small research project (identifying a research question, identifying data and the methodology that is necessary to answer the research question, analyze the data and formulate a scientific answer, elaborated on an empirical basis).
