Due attention will be paid to syntactic phenomena that scope over more than one utterance. The main focus of the course will be on means of text construction, text cohesion and the phenomena connected with expressing attitudes, modality and communicative functions.
Competence for syntactic analysis of authentic texts; general overview of theoretical approaches to textual analysis; practical acquisition of rules resulting in the production of clearly and logically structured coherent texts
