Learning outcomes
|
The target of the course is to gain knowledge in the field of grammar structure of English. The class is based on grammar overlaps and deals with all partial grammar elements in their theory as well as in practical analysis.THe course is a base for future studies of syntax.
The students are able to: - carry out a morphological-structural analysis of a text; - identify word classes including the contextually bound phenomenon of conversion; - distinguish grammatical categories and the forms of their realisation; - be aware of the relation between linguistic forms and their meanings. On the basis of such analyses the students are able to: - produce texts whose grammar corresponds to the intended content; - they are conscious of the typological difference between the Czech and the English grammar systems.
