Course objectives
1. To underline the interest of syntactic studies to make explicit the structural mechanisms of verbal communication
2. To strengthen the understanding and application of the fundamental concepts of functional syntactic analysis (parsing).
3. To know the structure and operation of the clause and combinations of clauses in Spanish.
4. To become familiar with the main phenomena of syntactic variation in Spanish.
5. To establish meaningful relationships between the syntactic properties, lexical-semantic features and the discursive-pragmatic use of the constructions of the clause and complex syntactic units.
6. To develop the capacity for critical reading of the texts of traditional, structural and functional syntax.
7. To stimulate the formulation of coherent arguments and empirical contrasting in the analysis of syntactic phenomena.
8. To develop the intellectual capacity through the debate and discussion on the resolution of exercises.

Competence
1. Ability to apply the principles of the functional syntactic approach to the analysis of new linguistic data.
2. Ability to critically evaluate different proposals for analysis.
3. Ability to prepare concise, coherent and well argued answers to the proposed problems and exercises.
4. Knowledge and use of the main sources of syntactic data and library resources for the study of Spanish syntax.
5. Communicative competence in the academic record, both orally and in writing with a precise use of the concepts and specialized syntactic terminology.

Teaching methodology
The twofold task of this course is theoretical-descriptive and practical. There are two hours of class per week devoted to the presentation and explanation of the contents of the programme, and a one-hour practice session to apply the concepts studied through exercises, questions and commentaries. In both types of sessions we encourage students to actively participate, who should previously read the compulsory bibliography and do the assigned practical tasks on time.
The course has a virtual classroom with the necessary materials and resources to the development of the issues and the implementation of practices.

Assessment system
The assessment will consider:

a. The work done during the course, which will be assessed through practical tests and short speeches in interactive sessions (30% of Final Mark);

b. The scores obtained in the compulsory Final Exam (70% of Final Mark).

For the second chance and for students exempt from attendance, and also for those that from a given moment of the academic year could not continue to attend class, the assessment system will consist of a written examination which will be worth 100% of the Final Mark.
