Language as a System General Information

General Description

This course is composed by four units dedicated to the elements constituting the language system. The first unit introduces sounds, their nature and some of their features. In the second unit we will be working with words and their meanings, as well as phrases. For unit three, you will deal with phrases, sentences and structures in general. And finally, in unit four, all these elements will come together to form discourse, which can be spoken or written, and can be found in a diversity of contexts with specific functions. The topics will be treated not in too much depth, but there will be a lot of reflection going on.
