In de specialisatie Italian Language and Linguistics van de MA Linguistics bestudeer je de Italiaanse taal vanuit een typologisch, historisch, en sociolinguistische benadering. Je doet zodoende inzicht op in bijvoorbeeld een aantal verschillende regionale variaties van Italiaanse dialecten, zoals in onze cursussen over theoretische en toegepaste taalkunde. Doordat onze specialisatie, die door een jong en actief team wordt verzorgd, geheel in het Italiaans is, zal je beheersing van de taal zeker verbeteren.
Programme
The flexible specialization in Italian Language and Linguistics helps you to apply and further refine the linguistic research methods and skills acquired during the BA. The Italian-spoken specialisation offers you a number of courses on both Italian and Italian dialects. For this, you study Italian as a language of Europe from a typological, historical and sociolinguistic point of view.
You are free to combine these courses with other courses in the broad MA in Linguistics. This gives you the flexibility to combine papers as well, so as to study, for instance, the language used in literature or the literature in vernacular.
As we have strong ties with the linguistic community, you have a broad choice of original topics for your final thesis, ranging from language acquisition to the sociolinguistics of Italian, to formal syntax, or the phonology and morphology of the language.
You are certain to raise your command of the Italian language to a higher level, as all courses, papers and presentations are in Italian. This includes the MA thesis, which you will write during the second half of the second semester.
