(in Polish) Le preposizioni italiane: uso e significato WH-KON-FW-I-LPI

ourse description

The course is devoted to an in-depth analysis of the use and meaning of prepositions in contemporary Italian. It is not intended as a basic grammar course, but focuses on more complex and problematic aspects of prepositional constructions.

The course examines the relationship between preposition choice and meaning, prepositional complementation of verbs, nouns and adjectives, alternation between different constructions, and the use of prepositions in relation to syntactic, semantic and pragmatic context.

The language material includes examples from contemporary Italian, including functional, journalistic and literary texts as well as spoken language. The course also addresses error analysis and differences between grammatical norms and actual language use.

The aim of the course is to develop students’ ability to analyse language problems independently, formulate and justify interpretations, and use prepositional constructions consciously and precisely.

Learning outcome code/codes

FW1_W01 The student knows the place and significance of philological studies within the humanities and understands the methodological specificity of linguistic research (FW1_W01). FW1_U03 The student is able to formulate, define and develop research problems, independently select appropriate methods, and justify the choice of both the research problem and the methods used, employing correct academic terminology (FW1_U03). FW1_U07 The student is able to analyse and synthesise information at a level that allows for a clear and logical presentation and justification of a chosen position, making critical use of the existing achievements of philology and other humanities disciplines (FW1_U07).

Type of subject

obligatory

Preliminary Requirements

A level of Italian sufficient to use basic grammatical structures confidently and to analyse more complex linguistic constructions. Students should be familiar with the basic rules governing the use of simple and compound prepositions and have a basic knowledge of Italian grammar.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge

The student knows the basic concepts and tools of linguistic description used in the analysis of Italian prepositions and understands the specific nature of linguistic research into their form, meaning and use.
FW1_W01

Skills

The student formulates problems concerning the use and meaning of Italian prepositions and selects appropriate methods and linguistic examples for their analysis.
FW1_U03

The student uses correct linguistic terminology when describing and analysing the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic functions of Italian prepositions.
FW1_U03

The student analyses the use of prepositions in sentences and texts, compares possible constructions and explains differences in meaning resulting from the choice of a particular preposition.
FW1_U07

The student synthesises the results of linguistic analysis and clearly and logically justifies the adopted interpretation of selected prepositional constructions.
FW1_U07

The student critically evaluates different ways of describing and interpreting the use of Italian prepositions, referring to the grammatical and linguistic principles covered during the course.
FW1_U07

Assessment criteria

FW1_W01 – Knowledge of the place and significance of philological studies and the methodological specificity of linguistic research

Grade 5.0 (Very Good): The student demonstrates a very good knowledge of the basic concepts and tools of linguistic description used in the analysis of Italian prepositions and accurately explains the specific nature of linguistic research into their form, meaning and use.

Grade 4.5 (Good Plus): The student demonstrates a very good knowledge of most of the concepts and methods covered and applies them correctly in the analysis of Italian prepositions; minor errors occur only occasionally.

Grade 4.0 (Good): The student demonstrates a good knowledge of the basic concepts and methods of linguistic analysis and applies them correctly to typical examples.

Grade 3.5 (Satisfactory Plus): The student knows the basic concepts and analytical tools but does not always apply them consistently or precisely.

Grade 3.0 (Satisfactory): The student demonstrates sufficient knowledge of basic linguistic concepts and is able to apply them to simple examples of preposition use.

FW1_U03 – Formulation and development of research problems and selection of appropriate methods

Grade 5.0 (Very Good): The student independently and precisely formulates problems concerning the use and meaning of Italian prepositions, selects appropriate analytical methods, properly justifies their choice and uses correct linguistic terminology.

Grade 4.5 (Good Plus): The student formulates problems and selects appropriate analytical methods very well; only occasional minor support is required with justification or terminology.

Grade 4.0 (Good): The student correctly formulates basic analytical problems and selects appropriate methods, although the justification is not always fully developed.

Grade 3.5 (Satisfactory Plus): The student is able to formulate a problem and indicate a possible analytical method but requires support in applying and justifying it.

Grade 3.0 (Satisfactory): With the instructor’s support, the student formulates basic problems concerning the use of prepositions and applies simple methods of analysis.

FW1_U07 – Analysis and synthesis and clear and logical presentation and justification of a position

Grade 5.0 (Very Good): The student independently and accurately analyses prepositional constructions, compares possible solutions, explains differences in meaning and presents the results of the analysis in a clear, logical and well-justified manner.

Grade 4.5 (Good Plus): The student analyses and compares prepositional constructions very well and correctly justifies their position; occasional shortcomings do not significantly affect the quality of the analysis.

Grade 4.0 (Good): The student correctly analyses typical constructions and provides a logical justification for their interpretation, although the analysis of more complex examples may be less in-depth.

Grade 3.5 (Satisfactory Plus): The student carries out a basic analysis and is able to present their own position, but the argumentation is partly incomplete or insufficiently precise.

Grade 3.0 (Satisfactory): The student analyses simple prepositional constructions at a basic level and, with the instructor’s support, presents and justifies their interpretation.
