21801137 - LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND INSTITUTIONS IN SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES

Deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture to achieve a true communicative and sociocultural competence. To this end, the course is divided into three modules: the first module (language) provides for the study of the morphosyntactic functioning of Spanish (level B1 +); in the second module (phraseology and paremiology) we will deal with the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological and paremiological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic, contrastive [Spanish / Italian] and, in particular, cultural). The third module provides the approach to the study of some specialty languages: sectorial (political, economic), technical-scientific (IT) and argot (social net word), through the analysis of original written texts in Spanish and listening (YouTube channel, database, corpora) of authentic oral materials. The course, structured as follows, will allow you to familiarize yourself with dynamics concerning the language, culture, politics, society and economy of the current Spanish-speaking world.
