LINGUA E TRADUZIONE TEDESCA
(objectives)
The course welcomes beginner students (absolute and non-absolute) and students with prior knowledge of the German language. For all types of students, the course consists of a "parte docente" and a "lettorato". The "parte docente" consists of lessons on German linguistics with Dr. Palilla, the "lettorato" consists of lessons on German language with the lecturer. The linguistic course proposes techniques and strategies for reading and understanding the text written in German, through the recognition of the main phenomena that characterize the "text" dimension from a linguistic point of view. Particular attention will be given to the study and analysis of phenomena and grammatical structures typical of the German language, also in comparison with the Italian language. The reading of German-language texts belonging to different linguistic varieties and different textual genres will be privileged, with a preference for newspaper articles, biographies of great German-speaking writers and artists, short poetic texts and texts concerning geography, history and culture of German-speaking countries. The two modules offer the opportunity to acquire and develop the following linguistic and grammatical knowledge and skills: Reading and understanding of the German text, grammatical-textual skills and metalinguistic competence. In the exam, the student must demonstrate that they can: - Describe the main variations of the German language, in particular the diachronic and diatopic ones - Define and describe the concepts of "Text", "Textsorte", "Textnuster" and "Textfunktion" - Recognize and analyze the main syntactic and morphological structures of the German language, in particular: the structure of the sentence, the division into syntactic fields, their occupation, the syntactic constituents, their forms and functions, the lexicon and the formation of words, forms of textual coherence. - Describe Landeskunde topics in German, for example the school system, Bundesrepublik and Bundesländer. - Analyse short poems typical of the literary tradition of the German language.
