As the student has demonstrated, by obtaining the credits corresponding to the basic and compulsory training subjects, that he / she has acquired the basic competences, he / she must be able to express himself / herself correctly orally and in writing. For this reason, any spelling and expression errors you may make will result in a drop in the score in the final grade.
										
											
										
											The practical activities and the works presented in the subject will have to be original and will not admit, in no circumstance, the total or partial plagiarism of other people's materials published in any support. The possible presentation of non-original material without properly indicating its origin will automatically lead to the rating of suspense (0).
										
											
										
											It is also considered that the student knows the general rules of presentation of an academic work. However, the teacher of the subject may give specific rules, if he deems it necessary.

The subject is integrated into the subject as a whole, which is part of the 108 compulsory credits of the Degree in Spanish Language and Literature, and which the student takes together with other language and literature subjects. This is a syntax course that complements and deepens the subject Syntax of Spanish: the simple sentence. It starts from a descriptive approach to the phenomena that Spanish Syntax: the simple sentence affect to the compound sentence and provides the fundamental theoretical tools for its analysis and understanding.
										
											
										
											The practical activities and the works presented in the subject will have to be original and the total or partial plagiarism of third-party materials published in any medium will not be accepted under any circumstances. The eventual presentation of non-original material without properly indicating its origin will automatically lead to a fail grade (0).
										
											
										
											Likewise, it is considered that the student knows the general rules of presentation of an academic work. However, the professor of the subject can give specific rules, if he considers it necessary.

1. From the simple sentence to the comples sentence
										
											The architecture of the sentence. Verbal phrase (SV) and predication. Verbal inflection: time and agreement marks. The complementizer phrase (SC): marks of subordination. Modality.
										
											
										
											2. The complex sentence: general characterization
										
											Coordination and subordination. The classification of subordinate clauses: completive, relative and adverbial subordinate clauses. Clause typing and tense. Types of subordinate nexuses.
										
											
										
											3. The completive (or substantive) subordination
										
											Complementary subordination: general characterization and typology. Predicates that select completive subordinates. The complementizers of completive subordination. Tense: the alternation between finite and non-finite verbal forms. Finite verb forms: indicative, subjunctive. Modality and substantive subordination: interrogatives vs and indirect exclamations. Quantified clauses.
										
											
										
											4. Relative (or adjective) subordination
										
											Relative clauses: general characterization and typology. Marks of relative subordination: the status of relative pronouns and adverbs. The relative free or "nominalized." Relationships between interrogative, exclamatory and relative clauses.
										
											
										
											5. Adverbial subordination
										
											Adverbial subordination: the traditional functional approach. The marks of adverbial subordination. Subordinate nexus classes. The absolute constructions. Own and improper adverbial subordinates. The formal analysis of adverbial subordination.

A basic purpose of teaching grammar is to train students in the practice of parsing. Consequently, theory and practice are two closely related aspects in the development of the subject. In the development of the subject both aspects will be combined: 1) the theoretical exposition of the contents of the program and 2) the practical illustration with the end to enhance the capacity of syntactic reflection of the students. The classroom will be an open space for the discussion of problems, the syntactic argumentation, the commentary of the relevant bibliography and the resolution of exercises (previously prepared by the students).

Continous Assessment Activities

Title	Weighting	Hours	ECTS	Learning Outcomes
Assessment 1	45%	4	0.16	1, 2, 3, 4
Assignment 2	45%	4	0.16	1, 2, 3, 4

1. Continuous assessment

1.1. Criteria for the grading the course

In order to pass the course, after completing the three evaluable activities mentioned above and after applying the percentages indicated above, the student must get a final grade equal or greater than 5. If the final grade is

• Less than 3.5, the student will get a failing grade.
• Between 3.5 and 4,8, the student will be able eligible for re-evaluation.
• Students will obtain a Not assessed course grade unless the have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.

1.2 Re-evaluation criteria

Students who get a final grade between 3.5 and 4,8 and who have carried out the three assessable activities mentioned above will be eligible for re-evaluation of the course on the date set by the Faculty. In such case, they need to re-valuate the test with the lowest grade. The activity Participation in class is not re-evaluable. If the re-evaluation test is passed, the final grade for the subject will be 5, regardless of the grades obtained before. Students who have passed the course will not be allowed to re-evaluate to increase their grade.

1.3 Evaluation criteria

In order to pass the exam, mastery of the normative is considered essential; therefore, when evaluating the activities mentioned above, spelling errors, incorrect use of punctuation, lexical errors and morphosyntactic errors will be penalized.

1.4 Review procedure for evaluable evidence

After the publication of the gradingof the evaluable activities mentioned above, the teacher will inform the students through Moodle of the day and time for the review of such activities. 

1.5 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 of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

 2. Single assessment

Assessment activities	Weight
Exam 1	45%
Exam 2	45%
Delivery of homework	10%

Everything established in points 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 of the previous section is also applicable to the single assessment. The date for the single evaluation will coincide with the date of Exam 2 of the continuous assessment. The teacher will communicate to the student the date for the single evaluation through Moodle at the beginning of the course.
