Language and communication functions and pathologies
The course has two key objectives. The first is to propose an educational path aimed at learning the knowledge of the main methods of classification of language disorders in diseases such as aphasia, autism, schizophrenia. The second is to show how the study of language pathologies can be used to develop theoretical models on the functioning of language

Programme
The course focuses on language pathologies, with particular attention to the deficits related to the discursive communication. Among the cases discusses, there are the communicative deficits characterizing pathologies such as autism, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury. In such cases, as well as in many neuropsychological and psychopathological disorders, the communicative impairments mainly concern the level of discourse and depend on deficits that primarily involve the cognitive dimension, rather than the linguistic one. Thus, the study of discourse disorders is particularly useful to investigate a more general question that is extremely relevant from a theoretical point of view: the relationships between language and cognition.Core Documentation
