Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide students with the theoretical and methodological tools for the scientific analysis of human language. By examining the different levels of linguistic representation (phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax, semantics and pragmatics), the mechanisms of acquisition of both the native language(L1) and the second language (L2) will be illustrated and will determine some theoretical and methodological reflections on language teaching.
