Lesson 1 - Communication -

A phrase (frase) has a meaning only if the words in the same sentence are arranged in a logical order and if  it is observed the right punctuation.

A message (messaggio) is a linguistic act (atto linguistico) used to achieve an objective.

The main purpose of the communication are:

-expressing emotions, moods and sensation (or feelings) (eprimere emozioni, stati d'animo e senzazioni)
-asking (chiedere)
-informing (informare)
-telling (raccontare)
-persuading to do something (convincere a fare qualcosa)
-ordering (ordinare)

Talking to someone is to make a choice of language.
If you talk to a person with whom you have confidence, you use a confidential tone (tono formale), as if speaking to a person who is authoritative you use a formal tone (tono confidenziale).

  

Elements of Communication:

(Elementi della Comunicazione)

issuer - the speaker
emittente - l'oratore
  
receiver - the listener
ricevitore - l'ascoltatore

 message - what is said
messaggio - ciò che viene detto

 code - the language
codice - la lingua

 channel - communication methods (written, verbal ...)
canale - i mezzi di comunicazione (scritta, verbale ...)

 deferent - what we talk about
deferente - di cosa parliamo

The way we communicate and express ourselves depends on our intention, that is the purpose we wish to reach.

Basically we have two types of objective: the real purpose (scopo reale) (when the message coincides with the deferent), or the apparent purpose (scopo apparente) (when the message does not refer to the deferent).

To complete the first lesson, we talk about syntax (sintassi).

A logical statement is formed, in it's basic form, to: subject (soggetto) (of whom you speak?) And the predicate (predicato) (what is said?).
Any type of word can act as a noun (sostantivo) and having the function of subject. The predicate is a verb (verbo) that agrees with the subject.

Indeed, we will discuss further, the verbs are conjugated (coniugati) in Italian:
The verbs have multiple forms, each of which is used to express a different approach of the speaker in relation to the listener through the modes (modi).
