Learning Outcomes
Based on the guidelines of the European Qualifications Framework and levels 6, 7, and 8, upon successful completion of the course, students will have acquired the following knowledge, skills, and competencies:
Knowledge:
- In-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of phonological and morphological analysis, with a focus on Modern Greek.
- Comprehension of the interaction between phonological and morphological structures and their effects on speech production and understanding.
- Knowledge of the phonological processes governing the structure and function of words, as well as the morphological processes (such as derivation, compounding, and inflection) in the Greek language.
Skills:
- Analytical thinking and the ability to identify phonological and morphological structures and phenomena in the language through theoretical and practical applications.
- Application of the basic principles of phonological and morphological analysis based on specific data from the Greek language.
- Ability to interpret phonological and morphological phenomena using the theoretical models taught.
- Proficiency in managing tools and technologies for collecting and analyzing linguistic data (e.g., software for phonological analysis).
Competencies:
- Ability to work independently and conduct individual research in the field of phonology and morphology, using appropriate theoretical and methodological approaches.
- Teamwork and the ability to exchange ideas and data in a scientific context, through discussions and collaborations with fellow students and professors.
- Critical thinking and self-reflection in analyzing linguistic data, identifying the limitations and challenges of the theories studied.
- Planning research projects to develop new ideas and hypotheses in the analysis of the Greek language, with a focus on phonology and morphology.
- Adaptability to new situations, such as working in international or interdisciplinary environments, through the in-depth study of linguistic phenomena in other languages and comparative linguistics.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an international context
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Appreciate diversity and multiculturality
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course focuses on the phonological and morphological analysis of the Greek languageStudents examine the phonetic system and key phonological processes in Greek, such as assimilation and elision, as well as the phonotactic and syllabic structure of the language and its stress system. Additionally, the course aims to familiarize students with the morphosyntactic categories of words, the rules governing their formation (inflection, derivation, composition), and how to apply this knowledge in teaching Greek. Special emphasis is placed on the distinction between formal and informal registers of the language.
Furthermore, the course includes comparative analysis with other languages to highlight both common and unique linguistic features. Through practical exercises and applications, students will have the opportunity to analyze real linguistic data and apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired. The course offers a comprehensive understanding of the linguistic mechanisms of Greek, with a particular focus on the interaction between phonology and morphology.

Description
Use in Teaching:
Asynchronous and synchronous learning platforms: Platforms such as Moodle and Zoom are used to post educational materials (notes, slides, presentations) and to conduct online classes and lectures in real-time.
Interactive content: Multimedia (videos, audio) and interactive tools, such as quizzes and interactive whiteboards, are integrated to enhance understanding of phonological and morphological phenomena.
Digital linguistic tools: The teaching process includes the use of software for the analysis of phonological and morphological data, allowing practical application of the theoretical concepts taught.
Use in Lab Training:
Linguistic data analysis software: Programs such as Praat or other specialized tools are used to analyze phonological and morphological characteristics, giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge practically.
Digital libraries and resources: Access to digital databases and research articles enables independent study and the development of research papers using modern academic sources.
Use in Communication with Students:
Electronic communication: Students can communicate with instructors via email, messaging systems on the course platform, or through teleconferencing platforms for meetings and clarifications.
Online discussion forums: The platforms support the creation of online forums, where students can ask questions, participate in discussions, and exchange views related to the course.
Feedback through digital tools: The evaluation and feedback on student assignments are conducted via electronic platforms, with the ability to provide electronic comments, corrections, and grading.

Student Assessment
Description
a. Description of the process
Student assessment in the course is conducted through a combined process that includes both formative and summative evaluation. The language of assessment is Greek. The evaluation criteria are explicitly defined and involve a variety of methods that focus both on the understanding of key concepts and the application of theoretical knowledge. These methods are outlined in the course syllabus.
b. Weight of each assessment method
The assessment methods include:
Multiple-choice test: Assesses the understanding of basic concepts (20%).
Short-answer questions: Focus on more specialized aspects (20%).
Essay questions: Analyze specific issues (30%).
Problem-solving: Tests the application of knowledge (10%).
Written assignment: Requires research and analysis (20%).
The evaluation criteria are clearly defined and accessible to students through the course’s online platform, where detailed requirements for each assessment method are provided.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Exam with Extended Answer Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
- Written Exam with Problem Solving (Formative, Summative)
