| DESCRIPTION | Partiendo de los conocimientos previos del estudiante, adquiridos en las asignaturas Aspects of Spanish Language & Grammar 1-3, el objetivo de esta asignatura es hacer hincapié en las estructuras especialmente complejas del español que, por su complejidad, se trataron de manera más general en las asignaturas anteriores. Se trataran los aspectos gramaticales más problemáticos de la gramática del español, como son la oposición ser y estar, los tiempos del pasado, la impersonalidad y los valores del pronombre se. El análisis de estas cuestiones gramaticales se realizará desde diferentes perspectivas (morfológica, sintáctica, etc.). Se contrastarán, además, las visiones que han ofrecido de estos problemas gramaticales diferentes especialistas y corrientes lingüísticas para establecer, en último término, las dificultades que presentan dichas cuestiones tanto a hablantes nativos como a no nativos.
