The course aims to introduce the German language, with particular focus on:
• Morphological, syntactical, phonetic and lexical structures of standard German;
•Basic notions of semantics and lexicography and their application in contrastive analysis;
• Current lexicographical tools (different types of on and offline dictionaries, corpora and databases
etc.)
• Analysis of short authentic texts.
Students are also asked to participate in the tutoring activities held by Claudia Spang (cspang@tin.it) during the first or second term. Students who were not able to attend these activities should do the interactive exercises from the Delfin (CD-ROM), Hueber course.
