IN-DEPTH SEMINARS OF DISCIPLINARY AREA (SL) - MOD.3

The Language Sciences curriculum is aimed at the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and at the development of critical skills that allow PhD students comprehending language phenomena in all their complexity, thereby developing the relevant skills to design researches aimed at the acquisition of new data and their analysis, as well as proposing applicative interventions with social and cultural impact. The curriculum includes a wide array of language research perspectives (formal, sinchronic, diachronic, philological, sociolinguistic, computational, language educational analysis, applied to bilingual and bimodal contexts) which are addressed with experimental methodologies that use sophisticated instruments (exe-trackers, fNIRS) and advanced statistical analysis models.
The present module is inserted within the doctoral programme in Language Sciences and is aimed at the thorough understanding of themes linked to Germanic Philology and Linguistics and to Digital Philology.

-Thorough understanding of the linguistic and textual Lombard heritage
-Knowledge and ability to apply philological methodologies for the processing, including digital processing, of texts, especially through the EVT software
-Ability to critically analyse, evaluate and synthesise new and complex ideas, in order to contribute to the refinement of theoretical models and applied methodologies within the discipline of Germanic Philology and Linguistics
-Ability to communicate with peers and with the broader community of scholars in Germanic Philology and Linguistics, by presenting one’s research in oral and written form in the semester papers of the relevant year.

Knowledge and skills verified during the selection process:

Excellent knowledge of the main topics of Germanic Philology and Linguistics
Base knowledge of linguistics
Good knowledge of instruments for Digital Philology and visualization and XML Editing tools such as Edition Visualization Technology and Oxygen XML Editor.

The seminars are structured in two main areas:

The cultural and linguistic heritage of the Lombards
Prof. Chiara De Bastiani (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 16 h:
This seminar series aims to investigate the cultural and linguistic heritage of Lombard origin in Italy and the influence of the Lombard language on the Italian language. After introducing the textual tradition and studies on the Lombard language, Lombard cultural heritage items in Veneto and the connection of this Germanic population with the lagoon city and its surroundings will be presented.

Applicative workshop about EVT3
Prof. Roberto Rosselli Del Turco (Università degli Studi di Torino), 14 h:
EVT is the visualization software used, inter alia, in the PNRR PRIN 2022 project on the Leges Langobardorum. The creator of the software, Roberto Rosselli Del Turco, will hold a hands-on workshop specifically on the new features of version 3, currently under development.
