SPAN 435 Hispanic Linguistic Variation and Advanced Grammar (3 SH)

Hispanic Linguistic Variation and Advanced Grammar focuses on how Spanish is spoken in different places, how linguists observe such variation, and how recognizing linguistic variation can become a bridge to the individual. Students will be exposed to variations in morphology, phonology, and syntax based on diachronic (historic) variation, diatopic (geographic) variation, diastratic (social) variation, and diaphasic (social) variation. Students will learn historical methods of classifying the variations of Spanish and will be trained to recognize origins of Spanish speakers based on their accents. (Can fulfill a portion of Spanish Ed. Pre-K-12 licensure requirements.) (Offered every 4 years, Fall 2022)
