The subject focused to the acquisition of basic syntactic terminology and the gradual analysis of syntactic units. Introductory seminars are focused on the classification of statements according to the attitude of the speaker and the mode of the statement.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student shall:
- know the syntactic terminology and the terminology of current syntactic theories regarding the statement and the simple sentence;
- be able to explain the difference in the concept of building a simple sentence in "traditional" analytical syntax and valence syntax;
- be able to do complex sentence analysis including creating graphic representation.
Syllabus
  • 1st block: Sentence and statement; notification modality. The communication function of the statement. The propositional content of the statement. Attitudinal, certain and voluntary modality. Language means of their expression: lexical (particles, interjections), grammatical (verb categories), intonation.
  • 2nd block: Simple sentence and its structure. Sentential constituents and their expression by parts of speech. Subject and predicate. Object, adverbial, attribute, verbal attribute. Special forms of expression of sentential constituents. Recommended procedure for identification of the sentential constituents.
  • 3rd block: Syntactic relations (coordination, subordination, apposition, predication), linguistic means of their expression. Complex analysis of simple sentences using the methods of analytical syntax (sentential constituents, semantic and formal syntactic relations).
  • 4th block: The verb and its valence. Classification of sentence structures according to the valence potential of the predicate verb. Sentential constiuents valence and facultative. Sentential structure with predicate/predicative verbs with one, two or three valence.
  • 5th block: Subject and non-subject sentences. Verbs with zero valence. Subjectless sentences according to semantic, according to the type of a certain verb form. Verbal valence in subjectless sentences. Sentence equivalents according to their sentential member. Deviations from regular syntactic structure. Word order. Functional sentence perspective.
