Learning outcomes
This is a fundamental theoretical course of the Russian philology studies. It further develops the knowledge about language as system, acquired in the Introduction to Linguistic Studies, as well as the knowledge acquired in the separate linguistic courses: Phonetics and Phonology, Lexicology, Morphology 1 and 2. The Russian syntax is viewed both from the point of view of system linguistics and communicative linguistics, when language is studied in the process of its application. Students will be presented with the theoretical base of text linguistics and syntax semantics. We shall constantly confront Czech and Russian languages as many of the syntax categories are understood differently in Russian and Czech tradition. The theoretical knowledge will be demonstrated on examples from concrete text which shall be analysed from the syntactical complex point of view.
Understanding the syntactical level of present day Russian (sentence constituents, types of simple sentence, complex sentence, modality, word order) and the syntax of text.
Prerequisites
A practical knowledge of Russian, at least B1 level of the European Framework of Reference for Languages. Knowledge of general linguistic problematic. Having completed the Language Grammar Exercises 1 and 2, Morphology 1 and Syntax 1.
