Learning outcomes
TThe lecture in German morphology consolidates and extends theoretical and practical knowledge of German grammar, focusing on common grammatical phenomena of the contemporary German language as well as more complex grammatical structures in the field of German morphology. Complementary, transformation and translation exercises in the lecture focus on the systematic differences between Czech and German. The lecture in the winter semester will be followed by a lecture in the summer semester. Objectives of the individual teaching units: 1. Introduction of the discipline "morphology", intersections with other disciplines 2. Definition of the term "word" 3. Morph, morpheme, allomorph 4. Morphological models 5. Problems of defining word types 6. Lexeme construction 7. Synthetic and analytic verb forms 8. Categories of Tempus 9. Categories of Modus (+ indirect speech) 10. Category Genus verbi 11. Aspectality (vid versus Aktionsart) 12. Morphosyntax of verbs 13. Test preparation
After the completion of a two-term morphology exercise and the lecture the student masters the knowledge of German grammar, gains a comprehensive overview of the basic system of German descriptive grammar and the ability to form grammatically correct text units.
