Course content
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with basic information about linguistics and its areas of research. The first part of the course consists of an introduction to systemic linguistics, i.e., an overview of the various levels of language (sounds, words, sentences, text) and the ways in which they can be studied. The focus will be primarily on structuralist approaches. The lecture draws primarily on examples from Czech and German, with other languages included sporadically. The second part of the course is devoted to describing German from various perspectives that complement systemic linguistic analysis. Emphasis is placed on sociolinguistic, areal, and diachronic aspects. The course provides basic knowledge of language morphology and syntax, which will be further developed in practice during the relevant lectures and seminars (Morphosyntax). Course Structure: 1) The Subject Matter and Goals of Linguistics 2) Language as a System 3) Phonetics and Phonology 4) Morphology and Word Formation 5) Word Classification: Parts of Speech 6) Traditional Syntax: Sentence Components 7) Constituent Analysis 8) Dependency and Valency Grammar 9) Text Linguistics 10) Linguistic Analysis and Text Comprehension
