1. General information
Students will be offered complete and detailed information on the diatopic varieties of Aragonese, with a component of linguistic geography and dialectology.
The main objectives are to provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge to distinguish and understand oral and written messages in the different diatopic varieties, to know and use the appropriate tools for the study of the isoglosses and linguistic areas of the Aragonese language. These approaches and objectives are aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030 (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), so that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to their achievement: 4, 5, 8, 9 and 17.
2. Learning results
- Knows the concepts of linguistic atlas and dialectal monograph, knows how to handle the main linguistic atlases referring to Aragon, the main dialectal monographs referring to Aragonese and how to interpret linguistic maps.
- Distinguishes the different linguistic areas of Aragonese and the main isoglosses that serve to delimit them, according to the differential facts manifested in phonetics, morphology, syntax and lexicon.
- Knows the regional geographic variants of Aragonese, identifies the diatopic variety of a text (oral or written) by its phonetic, morphological, syntactic and lexical characteristics, locating it precisely on the map, and is able to accommodate it to another diatopic variety, following basic transformation rules.
- Distinguishes a text written in common literary Aragonese from a text written in a diatopic variety and knows how to explain the differences
- Knows and appreciates texts and oral productions in different diatopic varieties of Aragonese.
- Knows and knows how to handle the bibliography and the pertinent tools for the study of the diatopic variation of Aragonese.
