Knowledge and comprehension:
In-depth knowledge of the necessary tools for a critical reading and the analysis of the oldest Slavic texts; knowledge and critical understanding of the early Slavic written language system (from its first historical attestations onward) in a diachronic perspective.

Knowledge and comprehension applied skills:
The application of the acquired notions for an in-depth study of the historical and linguistic dynamics underlying the production of Slavic medieval texts; the ability to orientate in the critical debates on the historical and cultural topics in order to develop a personal research line, consulting linguistic corpora and proper bibliographic resources.

Autonomy of judgement:
The development of an autonomous reflection on the main linguistic characteristics of the selected texts in order to frame them in the early Slavic textual tradition; the ability to find adequate and relevant bibliographic resources for an in-depth understanding of the issues at stake.

Target communicative skills:
A general ability to present the acquired notions using a proper terminology, with particular reference to the historical and cultural framework of the phenomena and a philological and linguistic text analysis.
Three-year study of one or more Slavic languages (required QCER level: B2); knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet.
The course program includes a short introduction to the main linguistic, historical and cultural aspects of the medieval Slavic world and some selected topics on the philogical, morphological and syntactic characteristics of Old Church Slavonic. Some selected passages from the Old Slavic texts will be read and commented within a philological and linguistical approach.
