SLAVIC PHILOLOGY

The course Slavic Philology [LT0840] is addressed to students in Language, Civilisation and the Science of Language enrolled in the Literatures and Culture curriculum and in the Linguistics, Philology and Language Teaching Research curriculum.

Knowledge and comprehension:
Knowledge of the necessary tools for a critical reading and the analysis of the oldest Slavic texts; knowledge and critical understanding of the early Slavic written language system (from its first historical attestations onward) in a diachronic perspective.

Knowledge and comprehension applied skills:
The application of the acquired notions for a study of the historical, cultural and linguistic dynamics underlying the production of Slavic medieval texts; the ability to orientate in the critical debates on the historical and cultural topics, consulting proper bibliographic resources.

Autonomy of judgement:
The development of the reflection on some linguistic characteristics of the selected texts in order to frame them in the early Slavic textual tradition; the ability to understand the bibliographic resources with a critical approach.

Target communicative skills:
A general ability to present the acquired notions using a proper terminology, with particular reference to the historical and cultural framework of the phenomena and a philological and linguistic text analysis.

A basic knowledge of at least one Slavic language and the Cyrillic alphabet.

The course program includes a short introduction to the main linguistic, historical and cultural aspects of the medieval Slavic world and some selected topics on the philogical, morphological and syntactic characteristics of Old Church Slavonic. Some selected passages from the Old Slavic texts will be read and commented within a philological and linguistical approach.
