Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is introduce students to the functional approach to the study of language drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Czech and foreign linguistic traditions. Grammar is approached as a tool used in authentic interaction to achieve specific communicative goals (drawing on the knowledge acquired by students in the Syntax A and B courses). The focus is on the functional differences between spoken and written discourse, formal and informal, and polite and familiar interaction in different registers and dialects of English discourse. The students will discuss and practice the use of grammatical structures at sentence level with regard to their function as statements, questions, directives and exclamatives, and the representation of meaning in connected discourse (utterance level) focusing on linking signals and constructions, word order and emphasis, and theme-rheme articulation.
The course will raise students’ awareness of similarities and differences between English and their native language so as to enable them to identify potentially problematic areas for their future learners. Throughout the semester students are encouraged to link theory in the classroom to practice at schools via practical tasks.
Výstupy z učení

- understand linguistic terminology and use it when discussing the functions of language and grammatical structures,
- understand the difference between the structural, generative and functional approaches to the study of language,
- apply the functional approach to the analysis of language material and in authentic interaction,
- reflect the functional differences between spoken and written, formal and informal and polite and familiar discourse in authentic communication,
- to achieve specific communicative intentions in interaction with regard to context and addressee,
- understand the similarities and differences between the functions of grammatical categories in English and Czech,
- apply the functional approach for didactic purposes, e.g. for the development of teaching materials, lesson plans and adapting learning content for practical needs.
