Course content

1. Syntax as a scientific discipline: history and development of the approaches to syntax. 2. Syntactic elements and relations: from parts of speech to phrases. 3.-4. The structuralist approach to syntax: Generative grammar. 5.-6. The interaction of syntax and semantics: types of predicates; actants and adjuncts. 7.-8. The verb as the nucleus of a sentence: tense and aspect. 9.-10. The verb as the nucleus of a sentence: mood and modality. 11. Spanish sentence structure: word order and its variations. 12. Functional elements: determination. 13. Functional elements in suprasentential syntax: pragmatic markers. Learning outcomes: - The student will name and describe individual levels of syntactic relationships (sentence constituents, phrases, thematic roles, word order). - The student will explain the syntactic structure of sentences by applying various theoretical approaches to authentic language material. - The student will graphically represent the syntactic structure of sentences and clauses. - The student will use variously arranged sentence structures to achieve different communicative goals (thematization, cleft sentences, pragmatic markers). - The student will describe differences at the level of advanced sentence structures in Spanish and Czech.

Learning outcomes
|
The course builds on the knowledge acquired in Spanish Syntax I. It focuses on different theoretical approaches to syntactic analysis. It presents syntactic phenomena from a more general perspective and examines the role of the verb in the organisation of sentence structure. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between syntax and semantics, word order principles and functional elements of the sentence. The course also includes a contrastive view of selected syntactic phenomena in Spanish and Czech.
Students will distinguish different levels of relationships within and between sentences, identify them in authentic language material, describe them in terms of various theoretical approaches, and be able to use them actively. - The student will name and describe individual levels of syntactic relationships (sentence constituents, phrases, thematic roles, word order). - The student will explain the syntactic structure of sentences by applying various theoretical approaches to authentic language material. - The student will graphically represent the syntactic structure of sentences and clauses. - The student will use variously arranged sentence structures to achieve different communicative goals (thematization, cleft sentences, pragmatic markers). - The student will describe differences at the level of advanced sentence structures in Spanish and Czech.
