Analyse and understand the dynamic nature of the Italian language, and of languages in general

Elaborations

exploring the influence of technological change on the Italian language, such as:
- the borrowing and adapting of technical terms, for example, cliccare, il mouse, la password, chattare
- observing the changes to language when used in abbreviated forms in multimedia communications, for example, 6 = sei, x = per, + = più, - = meno, TVTB = ti voglio tanto bene, ke = che
- understanding the influence of other cultures on Italian, for example, the use of borrowed words such as il make-up, il bebé, un tailleur, il wurstel, il krapfen
- recognising that Italian is used in diverse communities and that it changes in response to local cultural contexts
