ML 6510 - Structure of Spanish

Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

Modern Languages

Description:

This course examines all of the aspects of Spanish structure from a general linguistics point of view. Expanding upon to Spanish linguistics course, this course will examine large samples of Spanish texts, both written and spoken, to establish the rules of morphology (word formation) and syntax (sentence formation) using the formal and technical vocabulary developed by modern linguistics. Although primarily a content course designed to teach the non-native speaker about the deep structure and surface structure of the language according to the so-called standard Latin American and Iberian linguistic norms, students will be expected to examine linguistic data in Spanish spoken by natives from a wide variety of regional and social backgrounds with a view to identifying both native and non-native speech patterns, error analysis and sociolinguistic variation.
