Asignatura Optativa. Segundo Semestre. 6 créditos
Profa. Fuencisla García Bermejo
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The main purpose of the course is to acquaint students with some of the major aspects of Modern English Dialects in order to widen their
understanding of Present-Day English. The course will be based on the theoretical and practical notions that students have learnt in other courses,
such as English Phonetics and Phonology , History of the English Language, English Grammar, etc. The object of study in those courses was
mainly the dialect of British English known as R.P. or Standard British English or Queen’s English. We will be studying similar aspects of other
varieties of English starting at the end of the 18th c. Attention will be paid also to the cultural, sociological and historical aspects of the subject.
Class time will be devoted to the following aspects:
1. A theoretical approach to Dialectology in general and to English Dialects in their Sociological, Phonological, Morphological and Syntactical
aspects.
