西班牙语是美洲使用最广泛的语言
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 590 million speakers. It is the official language in 21 countries throughout Europe, Africa, and the Americas, making it an essential tool for global communication and business. Canada has strong commercial ties with the world's two largest Spanish-speaking countries: Mexico (127 million) and the United States of America (57 million).<br>Spanish opens the door to the study of a rich range of cultural expressions in literature, film, and art, from medieval and early modern transatlantic world to the literary and cultural productions of contemporary Spanish and Spanish American societies. The department offers a wide selection of courses at all levels in literature, culture, and linguistics. Students are encouraged to complement and expand on the training they receive in these courses by taking courses in other academic units. By the time of their graduation, our students acquire skills to reflect critically on the world in which they live and a deep knowledge of Hispanic cultures.<br>Spanish also opens the door to the study of the Romance language family. The Department offers students the opportunity to advance their language skills through the systematic reflection on the language structure, from the sound system to the morphology and syntax. Through a variety of courses with a theoretical and experimental focus in linguistics, students acquire basic skills that can be transferred to teaching or research programs. Through collaboration with other language and linguistics programs, students are provided with opportunities and training to conduct research in linguistics with a focus on the Spanish language.
