MLO 2 LinguisticsStudents develop their knowledge of fundamental concepts in the fields of Hispanic and Applied Linguistics, and are able to apply them in the completion of research papers and data-driven small-scale research studies pertaining current issues in these areas.
The student completes between two and six courses (depending on his or her choice of emphasis, as either language and linguistics knowledge or literary and cultural knowledge) related to the Spanish language and linguistics. These courses deal with: the sound system of Spanish, the history of Spanish, advanced grammar, Spanish-English translation, a general introduction to Spanish linguistics, Spanish for professional application (medical, legal, etc. spheres), composition and conversation.
Taking these classes can identify the importance of translation. In these classes we tried to see the meanings of the words in the translation. It has a lot to do with the culture that each language has to understand, for example, the jokes that are said when they are translated, not the same grace as in the language in which it was created.
Taking the linguistics course helped me to have a better knowledge of English since it is my second language and I did not have knowledge about the importance of phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. To identify this concept, I did research where there was a clear example. In this investigation we used an interview with Shakira which was in English, which is her second language and we identified each one.
The importance of the mother tongue and the second language or also known as L1 and L2. It is important that the L1 is kept in a child so that it can make way for the second language since it is like a seed to be able to learn the second language by implementing some rules of the mother tongue. Even though there are many prejudices about teaching two or more languages to children, it has been scientifically proven that a child is learning another language is not harmful to him since his brain is capable and is the best age to learn a language quickly. Taking a linguistics class in my last semester at university was really difficult for me since I understood that there is a lot to learn about my mother tongue and of course in my second language. During the semester I was in communication with my teacher who helped me to take this subject in an easier way since he knew exactly what could help me to be able to better understand the class.
