I.DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CURSO

In this course students will extend their knowledge of traditional, formal grammar to semantic and functional approaches. They will learn the core concepts and analytical tools in Systemic Functional Grammar and apply them to the analysis of natural English texts. They will determine how specific lexico-grammatical choices affect meaning and relate to the context and discourse register. They will analyze how grammatical choices transcend the sentence level to create cohesion and coherence at the level of text.


II.RESULTADOS DE APRENDIZAJE

1.To compare traditional formalist grammar to Systemic Functional Grammar.

2.To apply the central concepts and analytical tools in Systemic Functional Grammar comparing it to traditional Formalist Grammar.

3.To analyze the semantic functions of lexico-grammatical features in terms of their interpersonal and experiential content.

4.To analyze how lexico-grammatical features create referential links to extra-textual context and cohesive links between sentences and engender coherent texts.
