Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the students will know the main concepts and methodologies for the linguistics analysis applied to modern and contemporary literary texts. They should also be able to analyze the structure and functions of different types of texts, in connection with the function and context in which texts were produced, both in a multimedia and interdisciplinary perspective.

The aim of the course is to select texts and plan teaching units suitable to pupils from 3 to 10 years.

Course contents

Two aspects of text analisys will be focused: on the one hand the selection of readings to be proposed, according to specific linguistic characters (lexical and syntax historical stratifications, rhetorical and metric structures, gender stereothypes), keeping into account the editorial offer (textbooks and teacher's guides). Both literary (fiction and poetry) and non-literary texts will be analysed.
