Marginally, if the time permits it, new results of APL in the area of the syntax are mentioned and analyzed. One of the parts of the seminar is constituted by the elaboration of syntactic schemes, analysis of the authentic Portuguese material, elaboration of syntactic analysis of selected periods, subordination and coordination. Some exercises also include the comparison of different syntactic structures in different registers (journalistic texts, poems and syntactic figures, spoken language).
