This subject analyzes the various aspects of the meaning of the statements involved in the construction of discourse, both orally and in writing. Students must understand the process of interpreting sentences in the context of use and identify the various factors involved in this process. They must also understand the construction of texts as a structured process aimed at the effective transmission of information.
1. The utterance as a unit of analysis: lexical semantics and sentence semantics, the compositionality of meaning, the role of context in interpretation.
2. Informaton structure: informative functions, their syntactic realization and their impact on discourse.
3. Anaphoric relationships in discourse: types of anaphoric relationships, their role in discursive cohesion.
4. The rhetorical structure of discourse: the hierarchical textual organization, types of relationships between utterances, their syntactic reflection.
Learning activities are distributed as follow:
1) Directed (40%).
2) Supervised (30%).
3) Autonomous (30%).
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.

In the continuous evaluation, students must provide evidence of their progress by completing assignments and tests during the course:
In the continuous evaluation system, students must provide evidence of their progress by completing assignments and tests at the end of the course:
To pass the course you must obtain a weighted average grade of 5 and a grade of 4 in all the blocks.
The detailed calendar with the content of the different sessions will be exposed on the day of presentation of the subject. It will also be posted on the Virtual Campus, where students can find a detailed description of the exercises and practices, the various teaching materials and any information necessary for the proper monitoring of the subject. In the event that the tests cannot be carried out in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB virtual tools; homework, activities and participation in class will be done through forums, wikis and/or exercise discussions through Teams, ensuring that all students can access it.
In the event that the student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
Review
By submitting the final grades before incorporating them into the student's transcripts, the teacher will post a date and time on the Virtual Campus to review the assessment activities. Students must arrange the review in agreement with the teacher.
Evaluable activities suspended / not presented
Failed students may recover suspended assessment activities or compensate for those not submitted, provided they meet the following two conditions. First of all,they have completed assessable items corresponding to two thirds of the total grade of the course or module; second, they must have obtained a weighted average grade of the set of assessable items of at least 3.5. Only the final written test can be recovered. The maximum grade for recovery is 5.
Students opting for the unique evaluation modality must present all the evidences for recovery, which will be under the same conditions than the students under the continuous evaluation modality.
The teacher will inform the students of the recovery procedure through the Virtual Campus when he / she publishes the provisional final grades. Theteacher will be able to establish an evaluation activity for each activity passed or not presented or a single activity to cover all these activities.
Students will obtain a “not assessed / not submitted” course grade unless they have submitted at least a 30 % of the assessment items.
