The aim of the course is to develop necessary skills for an independent morphological analysis of English. The students are first acquainted with elementary units and principles of morphological description. Then the focus shifts to lexical morphology, i.e. word-formation processes. The subsequent part focusing on inflectional morphology is structured according to individual word-classes. The lecture first explains given topics which are then practised in the practicals.
The student identifies and characterizes parts of speech. The student describes different types of word-formation processes and provides examples in English. The student explains the given characteristics of the English noun. The student analyzes parts of speech in an English written text. The student analyzes word-formation processes in complex English words. The student analyzes the morphological categories of English nouns. The student correctly uses articles in English.
