Syntax follows up the courses of Morphology and Lexicology. It introduces the students to the functional approach to present-day English syntax against the background of the syntactic system of Czech. The lecture focuses on the theoretical description of English syntax; the seminars practice and deepen the students’ command of the phenomena dealt with in the lecture.
Topics:
1.Introduction, basic terminology: the simple sentence, phrase, clause elements, sentence types and discourse functions
2.Verb valency, clause patterns; the subject (realization forms, semantic roles)
3.The object (realization forms, semantic roles)
4.The adverbial (realization forms, semantic roles, integration in sentence structure)
5.The subject and object complement, modifiers, apposition
6.Negation
7.Word order
8.Functional sentence perspective
9.Complex condensation, non-finite clauses (the gerund, infinitive, participle)
10.The complex sentence, types of dependent clauses, content clauses
11.The complex sentence, relative and adverbial clauses
12.The compound and complex-compound sentence
