The details of the Gramática Inglesa I course, a quatrimestral subject for second-year students in the Profesorado and Traductorado programs of Idioma Inglés and Traductorado en Idioma Inglés. The course aims to deepen students' understanding of grammatical concepts introduced in the first year, focusing on morphology, functional categories, and complex sentences. Students are expected to reflect on the properties of the English and Spanish languages and apply their knowledge to academic writing, translation, and teaching.

1. FUNDAMENTACIÓN
Gramática Inglesa I es una asignatura cuatrimestral del segundo año del Profesorado de Idioma Inglés (0430/2009) y del Traductorado en Idioma Inglés (Ord 0499/2011). Esta asignatura se propone continuar y profundizar las nociones de tipo de palabra y función gramatical introducidas en el módulo de Gramática Inglesa de Introducción a la Lengua Inglesa. Se abordarán además la noción de morfema, las características de las categorías léxicas (incluyendo los verbos con sus propiedades temáticas) y funcionales y la oración simple y compleja, los contenidos mínimos especificados en los planes de estudio vigentes.
Además de los contenidos curriculares específicos de la asignatura, los planes de estudio plantean egresados con los siguientes perfiles: el futuro profesor de inglés posee sólidos conocimientos de la lengua inglesa y de la propia lengua española, (...) y también una formación psicológica y pedagógico-didáctica que le permitirá enfrentar con idoneidad la conducción de procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje del idioma inglés. Por su parte, el futuro traductor posee una formación integral con énfasis en los aspectos lingüísticos de ambas lenguas por igual. Para contribuir a lograr estas demandas, esta asignatura intenta construir puentes con otras asignaturas del mismo año.Aparte de “poseer” conocimientos lingüísticos, se espera que el estudiante pueda reflexionar sobre las propiedades básicas de la morfología y la sintaxis de la lengua inglesa en comparación con la lengua española y aplicarlos a la producción de textos académicos, a la traducción o a la enseñanza. La reflexión exige correrse de la reproducción de contenidos y lograr argumentar una respuesta o solución con pruebas formales. Precisamente esta es la razón por la cual se le propone a los estudiantes resolver problemas lingüísticos. Estos tienen beneficios tanto para futuros profesores como para
futuros traductores ya que les permiten identificar patrones, contrastar lenguas, proponer hipótesis y buscar evidencia para comprobarlas o refutarlas, además de promover el pensamiento crítico.
2. OBJETIVOS GENERALES
Los objetivos de la asignatura Gramática Inglesa I apuntan a lograr que los estudiantes:
Unit 1: From morpheme to word.
Objetivo específico: Guiar a los estudiantes para que logrenresolver problemas lingüísticos en lenguas desconocidas que involucran temas morfológicos y los llevan a identificar patrones y postular de hipótesis que luego deberán comprobar con datos lingüísticos.
Assigned readings : (all the materials are available on Pedco)
To revise general notions of what categories and functions are, read Radford, A. (2009) Linguistics. Analysing English Sentences. A Minimalist Approach. Traditional grammar: categories and functions in Chapter 1 Grammar. (pp.1-11).
To learn about morphemes, derivation and inflection, compounds and clitics, read Radford, A. et al (2009). Linguistics. An Introduction. Chapter 10 Building words. (pp.140-151).
To find out how to do a word-by-gloss foreign language problem, read Carnie, A. (2006) Syntax. A Generative Introduction Appendix. (pp. 90-92).

1. Morphology: Inflectional vs. Derivational
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SsZAZlJYgc
This is 7-minute video created in 2019 by The Language Code. Episode 6 is called Morphology: Inflection and Derivation. In it you will find information about inflectional changes such as number and derivational changes to the word “compete”.

This 7-minute video created by DrNimerAbusalim in 2017 is called Syntax 3: Parts of Speech and Syntactic Categories. In it you will find information on lexical categories such as nouns, adjectives and verbs and also information about functional categories. You will learn why semantic definitions are not truly reliable and why we base our classifications on distributional criteria (morphological and syntactic). Finally the author discusses open and close categories.
Unit 2: From word to phrases
Objetivo específico: guiar a los estudiantes a reflexionar sobre la estructura interna de distintos tipos de frases o sintagmas y a identificar las relaciones entre los diferentes elementos que forman parte de ella
Asigned readings:
To revise the major word categories or parts of speech, functional and lexical categories as well as distributional tests to identify them, read Carnie, A. (2006). Syntax. A Generative Introduction. (pp.35-52).
To understand what a phrase and sentence are and where to place them in a tree diagram, read D’Alessandro, R. (2019). Syntax Made Easy. How to read and draw syntactic trees. Utrecht University. (pp.3-7). Section 1 What is a tree? and Section 2 What is a phrase?
To learn about constituency tests such as substitution, coordination and movement and how to use them read Poole, G. (2001) Syntactic Theory , pp. 21-34; to learn more about X’-Theory, functional categories and the different levels in a tree (specifier, head, complement and adjunct) and pp. 62-65 and pp.72-9 from
Unit 3: From phrase toTP.
Objetivo específico: lograr que los estudiantes sean capaces de reconocer distintos tipos de oraciones subordinadas, que logren compararlas en términos de función gramatical, elemento introductorio, flexión y tipo de sujeto y establecer algunas conexiones entre oraciones subordinadas con verbo flexionado y aquellas con verbo o no flexionado o ausencia de verbo.
Assigned readings:
To learn about finiteness and auxiliaries and to find out how to identify subordinate clauses, especially complement and adverbial clauses, read Tallerman, M. (2011). Understanding Syntax. (pp. 73-95).
To learn about thematic relations, theta roles and the Lexicon, read Carnie, A. (2006). Syntax. A Generative Introduction. (pp. 217-228).
