Intro to Spanish Linguistics: Presents the principal branches of linguistic study, as it pertains to Spanish: the sound system (phonetics and phonology), the structure of words (morphology), and the structure of sentences (syntax). Additionally, attention is paid to bilingualism, especially Spanish in the US, and how Spanish is spoken/written differently by various social groups (sociolinguistics) and in various Spanish-speaking countries (dialectology).

Span 313 Introduction to Spanish Linguistics was taught by Dr. Oliva. This course focused on the specific branches of the linguistic. The three branches that we focused on were the sound system that is the phonetics and phonology. The second branch is about the sentence structure is better known as syntax. The third branch is about morphology in other words it consists of the word structure. In this course i learned a lot. I have to admit that it was a challenging course. For me it was challenging because linguistics has to do a lot with they way we speak and hear especially when you would have to pronounce a word and state what point of articulation is. A great tip that Dr. Olivia told us is to say the word aloud or look at yourself in the mirro to be able to identify the point of articulation. In the beginning of the course Dr. Oliva emphasize the point of articulation and the mode of articulation. The mode of articulation is if a word is occlusive, nasal, or fricative. Nasal means when you say the word the energy comes through the nose occlusive is and fricative is when it hold back the air through saying the words. The point of articulation is what organ do you use when you say a word. For example, the word in “papa” in Spanish is bilabial because when you pronounce the word you are using both lips. On the other hang the mode of articulation is the interaction of the sound of words. An example, would be the phoneme |m| mañana in Spanish this means that it has sound because is nasal +. This course helped me meet MLO 2 linguistics. From this course I learned a lot but one thing that caught my attention was that all the vowels in Spanish are soundful. Although, this course was a challenge I enjoyed taking this course.
