SPAN 460 Spanish Variation in the World
The goal of this course is to provide students with a principled way of understanding why and how Spanish is spoken differently by different groups of speakers around the world, as well as raise awareness about differences among Spanish dialects. Differences are reviewed by examining mainly how vocabulary and pronunciation differ in several dialects. The course provides specific training that will allow students to identify linguistic cues that will help them recognize (and to some extend, use) different Spanish dialects. This course is taught in Spanish. Fulfills the humanities requirement. Prerequisite: Span 300 or permission of the instructor.
