The course is divided into different sections: we will start from the classification of psycholinguistics as a discipline functional to the application of linguistic theories in the contexts of learning and public communication, deepening the themes of language education.
In particular, the course will deal with the issues of written communication, the relationship between orality and writing, the sexist uses of language and communicative competence. We will focus on some elements of lexicology, useful to refine the skills of/of the learners, with particular reference to institutional communication.
