Cíle předmětu
The course focuses on selected aspects of English syntax and aims to deepen students' knowledge of syntactic terms and skills of syntactic analysis. To facilitate this, the students will be asked to carry out syntactic analyses and evaluations of selected syntactic features appearing in discourse fragments of three written registers: the news register, the register of academic prose, and the fiction register. The results of the analyses will be compared to the statistical data obtained from large electronic corpora of the English language. The topics covered in this course are centred around, but are not limited to, the general phenomena of clause grammar, the specifics of the complex noun phrases, adverbials, and word order.
