Abstract
The course complements Morphology 1 and 2 Syntax 1 and 2 (lectures and seminars). The seminar is used to practice the theoretical questions presented in the lectures Syntax 1 and 2 and to further deepen understanding of the structure of the French language based on reading texts, analysis of selected sentences and exercises from French university sources. The aim of the seminar is to enable students to gain a contrasting view of the French sentence and to understand the structure of French writing, its specifics.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student is able to: - understand the construction of the French sentence, - determine the types of sentences and their mutual relations, - explain grammatical phenomena and their syntactic interconnection, - apply acquired knowledge when reading more complex texts.
Key topics
Sentence members and relations between them (coordination, subordination). Relationships between sentences with a focus on the use of tenses and modes. Participles and their use in French syntax. Sequence of time. Word order in a French sentence compared to Czech. Differences between Czech and French. Current tendencies in the language, influences of other languages.
