CHINI MARINA (titolare) - 6 ECTS

The course presupposes the knowledge of notions and categories of general linguistics and of sociolinguistics.

Various sociolinguistic topics can be elaborated in order to encourage a scientific approach to the social and communicative dimension of language. In particular, the course aims at defining the phenomenon of second language acquisition in its external social coordinates and in its internal principles and factors, with the purpose of making the student aware of the social and theoretical relevance, along with the practical one, of the acquisitional topics.

This course (Sociolinguistics b) develops one aspect or topic of the course of Sociolinguistics a, dealing with the structure and the dynamics of linguistic repertoires or with single sociolinguistic aspects of modern societies (multilingualism and language contact, social and stylistic language variation, language acquisition and death, language minorities, etc.).
During the year 2014/2015 it will deal with language acquisition in its external social factors and its internal principles and factors, with a special focus on the Italian and European context.
