Cíle předmětu
Objectives of the course: The course provides students with a solid understanding of key concepts in the semantics of the sentence. The course is designed for advanced students. Students successfully completing the course will be able to analyze the semantic structure of the sentence. They will be able to examine the relation between the level of cognitive content and the level of linguistic meaning and to differentiate between the "static" semantic structure and the "dynamic" semantic structure. They will be able to analyze verbs with respect to thematic role grids and to categorize individual thematic roles and examine their relation to the grammatical structure of the sentence.
Osnova
  • Description of the course: This seminar provides a detailed discussion of some of the basic problems connected with the analysis of the semantic structure of the sentence. In view of the interrelation between semantics and syntax, attention will also be paid to the syntactic structure of the sentence. The topics covered in the course are as follows: - semantics versus pragmatics
  • - the level of cognitive content versus the level of linguistic meaning
  • - semantico-syntactic interface: the relations between grammatical sentence patterns and semantic sentence patterns
  • - the hierarchical structure of the semantics of the sentence
  • - semantic roles as generalizations of lexical meanings at a higher level of abstraction
  • - anthropocentrism of syntax
  • - the "static" semantic structure of the sentence versus the "dynamic" semantic structure of the sentence
  • - classifying situations
  • - modality and evidentiality
  • - classifying participants
  • - grammatical relations and thematic roles
  • - the motivation for identifying thematic roles
  • - verbs and thematic role grids
