Objectives and Contextualisation
This module analyses the linguistic bases and criteria governing the fixing of oral and written standards. The relationship is also studied between the grammatical description conceived as a system of linguistic competence and production and prescriptive grammar.
Competences
- Apply the research methods of linguistics and literary studies.
- Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
- Construct a well-argued critical evaluation of a linguistic or literary analysis.
- Contextualise texts for analysis and production.
- Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
- Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
- Seek out information in the scientific literature using appropriate channels, and use this information to formulate and contextualise a research topic.
- Show respect for the opinions, values, behaviours, and practice of other researchers and professionals.
- Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
- Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
