The course intends to inform the students about, and to sensibilize them towards, selected (theoretical and practical) aspects of the morphological, syntactic and textlinguistic analysis of the Italian contemporary language, and to enable them to deal with a specific linguistic topic on the basis of scientific methods (oral presentation).

The course focusses on the linguistic subfields of morphology, syntax and textlinguistics (both constitutive phenomena of textual structure in general and of different text genres in specific). The introductory lessons provide an overview of general morphological, syntactic and textlinguistic concepts. The course refers primarily to the standard Italian language, with possible considerations of pragmatic aspects or traits of the spoken language. A detailed program will be handed out at the beginning of the course.

• Introductory part: The first lessons are intended for the introduction to the course topics on the part of the professor; mainly ex-cathedra teaching, with discussions, exercises and group work.

• Oral presentations on the part of the students: In the lessons following the introductory part, students will give their presentations dealing with selected topics; individual or group work, always with discussion and preferably also with examples and specific exercises.

• Autonomous reading of the papers of the "small reading list" (kleine Leseliste) of this course.

Active participation during the lessons, carrying out of homework assignments, oral presentation, exam at the end of the winter term.

• "Small reading list" (see https://www.uibk.ac.at/de/romanistik/studium/lehramts-bachelor/).
• Further literature will be announced in the course and will be available on OLAT.
