Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Content
This lecture introduces fundamental concepts and terminology used in grammatical analysis and demonstrates how these are applied in the description and analysis of syntactic structures and texts. It illustrates how grammar is used for communication and how language structures can be explained and evaluated in context. In this way, this course provides an important foundation for both language classes and linguistics courses.

Aims
- to better understand the concept of grammar
- to identify and name the individual parts of syntactic structures (using standard terminology)
- to talk informedly about key grammatical categories and explain their use in a given context
- to recognise and rectify common errors
- to make independent and judicious use of grammar resources

Methods
The lecture course consists of weekly lectures and an accompanying Moodle course.

Please note that the lecture course is accompanied by a tutorial – time and venue to be announced on Moodle and in the separate description of the tutorial in u:find. This tutorial course is an additional offer to help you pass the exam; attendance is not mandatory but highly recommendable.
