Contextualización
This course offers a general introduction to the inflectional morphology of English words and their
combination into simple, complex and compound sentences in English. Through the exploration and analysis
of linguistic data, the course aims to improve the students’ knowledge of English grammatical formation
processes and structures and promote reflection upon language. In essence, it is intended to encourage their
critical abilities with regard to linguistic phenomena.
Initially, the course will study the intricacies of inflectional morphology, in particular in what refers to nouns,
adjectives and verbs. Then a classification of the different word classes and the tools to identify them is
provided, paying particular attention to the issue of fuzziness in grammar. After a review of the different types
of phrases in contemporary English, their features and structure and their combination into simple clauses,
students will be introduced to more complex structures, as is the case of finite and non-finite subordination,
as well as coordination. Special attention will be paid to the syntactic analysis of the previous units and its
representation through tree diagrams.

Metodología docente
There will be two kinds of contact between the students and the teacher: (1) theory classes, with all the
students in one group; and (2) seminars (groups of aprox. 30 students), which will practise the points
discussed in the theory classes and occasionally discuss short readings or new topics. These are designed
to observe students’ progress as well as to propose either reinforcement or a fuller treatment of class topics

should students want to pursue them more in depth. Note that a strict large class equals theory class and
small class equals practice class is not a mathematical division: there will be some practice in the theory
classes and some theory-building in the seminars.
Important notes:
* Mobile phones and other electronic devices are NOT allowed in the classroom. Laptop computers are
acceptable ONLY if used for purposes related to classroom activity. No electronic device whatsoever
(including computers) is allowed in the classroom during exams/practical sessions, unless otherwise
specified by the lecturer (e.g., if the practical session entails use of the internet for pedagogical purposes).
* Article 32 in the Reglament Acadèmic will be applied in cases of cheating, plagiarism, cyberplagiarism,
or any other fraudulent practice in the process of assessment: “Amb independència del procediment
disciplinari que es pugui seguir contra l’estudiant infractor, la realització demostradorament fraudulenta
d’alguna de les activitats d’avaluació incloses en l’avaluació d’alguna assignatura comportarà, segon les
circumstancies, una menysvaloració en la seva qualificació que, en els casos més greus, pot arribar a la
qualificació de «suspens» (0,0) a la convocatòria anual. En particular, es considera un frau la inclusió
en un treball de fragments d’obres alienes presentats de tal manera que es facin passar com a propis de
l’estudiant.”

Evaluación del aprendizaje del estudiante
Important note:
* The minimum mark required for a part to be computed is 5. In those cases where the mathematical average
is higher than 5 but one part of the assessement activities has been failed (EITHER the mid-term test OR
the exam at the end of the semester), the student will have 4.5 in his or her marks record.
