(syllabus)
FUNDAMENTALS OF ROMANCE PHILOLOGY AND LINGUISTICS: A part of the course is dedicated to the fundamentals of the discipline, therefore to the birth and differentiation of the Romance languages and to the origins of the literature written in those languages. During the lectures a general overview of the historical-cultural and linguistic processes that led to the birth and development of Romance languages and literatures is provided and some ancient testimonies are analyzed from a historical and linguistic point of view. Particular attention is paid to the genetic relationships between the various languages and to the factors that determined their progressive differentiation. DANTE AND THE TROUBADOURS: Another part is dedicated to the fortune of the troubadours tradition and its diffusion in medieval Europe, in particular to Dante's reception. The poetic texts that Dante mentions in his works, in particular in De Vulgari Eloquentia, are introduced from a literary historical perspective and analyzed from a thematic, linguistic and formal point of view.
