Objectives
This subject is designed for students to acquire the main operating concepts of Linguistics at its most important levels of analysis and description in relation to the structure and use of the linguistic systems in general and the Portuguese one in particular, thus surpassing both the merely intuitive plan of linguistic knowledge that students have at the outset both as native speakers and through previous schooling.
After a brief critical study of a few classical and recent perspectives on verbal language, we will determine the general outlines of Linguistics as a science. This semester we will introduce a descriptive course on the basic units of linguistic analysis, starting at the word-level, both its formal and its semantic layout, and proceeding with the sentence-level which we will address according to a structural perspective, taking into consideration its categorical and functional dimensions.
