Learning outcomes
|
The course is focused on syntax, marginally it also deals with structures beyond the sentence. Its aim is to increase language competence in structures that cross the word boundary such as punctuation, correct ordering and formation of sentence elements, sentences of individual types and forms, use of deictic elements within sentences and texts. Furthermore, the students learn about basic methods of description of grammatical structures exceeding the word and basic conceptual apparatus. The aim is to master the theoretical basis of sentence and text syntax and thus to allow the students to reflect the structure of sentences and texts via the methodology and conceptual apparatus of relevant linguistic disciplines, further to analyse sentences and texts and describe the main phenomena associated with sentence and text structures.
Students will repeat, classify, and deepen their command of German grammar, systematically practice individual grammar phenomena, and gradually become acquainted with relevant linguistic terminology. In this way, they will both improve their language competence and they will get ready for an active participation and a successful passing in linguistic courses taught in the 2nd and 3rd year of the study program.
