Learning outcomes
Subject is focused on thorough introducing and fixation of knowledge about Czech syntactical system (including appropriation of selected terminology) as essential theoretical solution required for sequential extension of individual repertoire of syntactic means and development of skills useful for its practical using in expression of various communication intention, attitudes (especially modal, emocional, evaluative, etc.) in regard to diversity of communcation situations and its components. Seminars include studies of current professional literature (professional articles), work with texts focused on communication-pragmatical components of deposition, composition of structural components, solving of selected syntactic excercises, corrections, etc.
Students are able to recognise purposes of communication in concrete communication situation and possibilities of their depositional realisation (form); even are able to hierarchizate of propositional contents and properly to express them; students are able to recognise phases of modality of reliability, non-guaranteed and theoretical reports, verity and validity of reports; to describe content, sound, graphical, grammatical, semantical and illocutionary side of deposition; to formulate properly terms of this learned subject. Students are able to formulate their own subjective attitudes to content of expressed infomations with using of various verbal, even nonverbal means; to formulate same propositional content by various grammatical structures and realise that grammatical accordances and even differences; to use various types of negations in (non)disclaiming of validity of expression content; to appraise communication inexplicitness.
