Learning outcomes
|
This course is both theoretical and practical and is dedicated to the basic problematic of comparative linguistics, the development of the Slavonic and world comparative linguistics, the subject of the discipline, basic principles of comparing language phenomena, methodology, principles and current technologies of comparative studies of typologically related or unrelated languages. In particular we shall talk about methods, principles and approaches to comparing the phonetic and phonological phenomena, word-formation, morphological phenomena, syntax as well as text. The students shall also get familiar with the basis of comparative lexicology and phraseology from the semasiologic and onomasiologic view-point and also the basis of comparative communicative linguistics. Special attention is paid to the phenomena universal in all languages vs. the unique phenomena. We shall define the typological, genetic, territorial, national and cultural elements in selected languages.
Students will understand the methods and approaches used in comparative linguistics and are able to carry on their own scientific research with application of the comparative methods.
