Recommendations:
Students must know the fundamentals and the methodological lines necessary to obtain a basic education in phonetics and phonology of the Spanish language.
They must know how to manage the bibliography and information, and interpret them critically.
They must be able to write correctly a scientific text.
The objective of this subject is to ensure that students become familiar with the basic notions of phonetics and phonology. Students must be able to describe the phonetic and phonological system of Spanish, which will give them the basics to be able to deepen these arguments in the subject Phonic Studies of Spanish. Perspectives and applications.
The subject is formed by 8 thematic blocks.
1. Articulatory description of vowels and consonants
Articulatory parameters for the classification of the vowels: oral opening and tongue position. Articulatory parameters for the classification of consonants: mode of articulation, place of articulation and sonority.
2. Acoustic description of vowels and consonants
Acoustic parameters for the classification of sounds: periodic and aperiodic sounds. Relationships between articulatory and acoustic characteristics.
3. The phonetic transcription
The phonetic alphabets: the alphabet of the Journal of Spanish Philology (RFE) and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
4. Prosodic phenomena
The accent. The intonation. Junctions and pauses.
5. The phonological system of Spanish
From sound to phoneme. Phonemes and allophones. Contexts and distributions. Variation factors.
6. The syllable
The syllable as a phonological unit. Syllabic division and structure. Nucleus and margins. Vocalic and consonantic groups.
7. Phonological processes of Spanish
The sounds in contact. The representation of the phonological processes of Spanish.
8. Phonological processes of Spanish
The sounds in contact. The representation of the phonological processes of Spanish.
The learning of this subject by the student is distributed as follows:
(2) 10% Supervised activity
Supervised activity (10%) is programmed by the teacher so that students work autonomously, supervised by the teacher though. These will be carried out before the autonomous activities so that the teacher could understand if students are able to work autonomously. Otherwise, the teacher will suggest the aspects that must be reinforced to carry out the following activity.
(3) 50% Autonomous activities
In these activities the hours of study and the preparation of evaluable tests should be taken into account. These activities must be done by the student autonomously. The students will dedicate about totally 75 hours to these activities. Autonomous activities are consisted of three evaluable exercises which will take place in class: one of these is on phonetics; another one, on phonology, and the last one on phonetic transcription. These three activities will be assessed.
(4) 5% Evaluation activities
The teacher will carry out a continuous assessment on this subject through the three previously mentioned exercises. Additionally, the students have to do a written test. In this test, the use of written language in the proper context will also be assessed, since this subject corresponds to the field "Spanish language".
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
The student is obliged to attend all the evaluable tests. In order to pass the subject the student must achieve a grade average equal to or greater than 5.0, once all the percentages indicated have been applied.
A "Not assessable" will be assigned when the evaluation evidence provided by the student equals a maximum of one quarter of the total grade of the subject.
After carrying out each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the student (Moodle) of the procedure and date of revision of the grades.
Missed/failed assessments activities
Students who have submitted evaluation activities whose weight amounts to at least 70% or more of the final grade and who have obtained a weighted grade of 3.5 or more will have the right to be re-evaluated.
Re-evaluation will be carried out through an additional test in the re-evaluation period set by the faculty, considering what is included in the section of re-evaluation.
The final mark of the students who pass the re-assessment test will not be more than 5.
There will be no additional tests to improve the final grade.
Misconduct in assessment activities
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event ofseveral irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
