Beschrijving

This course will examine the history and diversity of Spanish morphosyntactic variation (diachronic and synchronic perspectives). Hence, this course introduces students to the many varieties of Spanish spoken throughout the world, alone and in contact with other languages. Students will also refine their knowledge of linguistics, and will use a variety of research materials and resources.
Class time will be devoted to discussions of readings, analysis of written and recorded samples of various forms of Spanish. When possible, the class work will be supplemented by videos and visits by Spanish speakers from different parts of the world.
