3 credits G, W
Prerequisites: POR 302
Comparisons of grammar structures in Portuguese and English. The focus of the course is on selected aspects of grammatical structure, emphasizing the areas in which the two languages differ. Grammar will be approached from a descriptive point of view. We will analyze language produced by native speakers and writers, helping students identify areas of difficulty for learners of either language. Course constitutes an elective for Portuguese undergraduate minors and majors.  It also fulfills CAS Humanities distribution requirements and satisfies two General Education requirements (Cultural and Artistic Literacy and Global Awareness).
