This course is a linguistic introduction into three aspects of the structure of Spanish: the sound structure (phonology), the internal structure of words (morphology) and the internal structure of sentences (syntax) in relation to its meaning (semantics). These three aspects will be studied in the light of modern linguistic theory. Students will get insight in how universal aspects of human language surface in Spanish, and how Spanish linguistic structure differs from the structure of other languages.
