Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with basic characteristics of morphology, syntax and their mutual relation. Throughout the course various approaches towards morphosyntax will be presented (such as structuralism, generative linguistics, the so-called usage-based models, quantitative linguistics) and manners of using morphological and syntactical properties of language in order to build language typology.
Orientation in morphology, syntax and their relation Learning of basic methods of morphological and syntactical analysis Orientation in the issue of relation between morphosyntax and language typology Learning of basic quantitative linguistic methods used for morphosyntactic analysis Orientation in the issue of analysis of syntactic transitivity
