Course objectives
The aims of the course are 1) to get the students acquainted with the traditional Czech theories about the structure of a sentence as the elementary unit of the language system/of a text, 2. to help them understand the possibilities of the system for creating correct Czech sentences, 3. to help them understand semantic and formal relations among sentence elements. At the end of the course the students should be able to understand and explain the difference between the notions of sentence and utterance. The seminar is orientated practically, i.e. the focus is on application of the particular knowledge into practice when working with a text. Students will also learn rules for correct analysis of a sentence and basic units if communication, using traditional (V. Šmilauer) as well as valency- and semantically-orientated syntax (F. Daneš, M. Grepl).
