SPAN 333 Understanding How The Spanish Language Works
This course aims at deepening knowledge of the Spanish language by introducing students to different aspects of linguistic analysis: history of Spanish, the sound system (phonetics and phonology), word formation (morphology), and the interaction between language and society (sociolinguistics). The goal is to provide students with both broad and specific knowledge about Spanish that can help them address areas that are particularly challenging in the mastery of Spanish, such as pronunciation, sentence structure and verb/noun morphology. Future Spanish professionals are encouraged to take this course since they will benefit from a deeper understanding of the structure of the language. No previous knowledge of linguistics is expected.
