Course objectives

A two-semester discipline’s task lies in introducing to students the system of morphological tools of contemporary Russian as well as in developing their ability to confront this system with the morphological system of the Czech language. The main goal of the work in class tries to encourage students to apply their knowledge on practical communication. The lessons’ topics in this semester are as follows: The object of the morphology and its terms; the position of the morphology in the linguistic system of the language. The word – its form, morpheme, the types of morphemes; morphonology; morphematic analysis and word-building; the main word-building processes of contemporary Russian; kinds of words: substantives; adjectives; numerals; pronouns; verbs. All the comments are being explained in the most extensive way in the comparative scope of the Russian-Czech (or, if needed, Czech-Russian) perspective. Besides the morphologic explanations covering the problem of kinds of words, the word building (derivation), too, is approached in the course of lessons, namely with respect to the modern productive phenomena in the language. The class work completes the theoretical discourses having been explained in the lessons. Matter once explained should be exercised this way.
