Course objectives
There is presupposed knowledge of the linguistic disciplines that deal with contemporary language - syntax, stylistics and language analysis of the texts. The students acquire the theoretical information about text linguistics (terminology of the text and textual structure, composition, language means of the textual coherence - reference, conective words). That theoretical knowledge is language basis for the complex analysis of the text. The student shall be able to make that analysis in the end of the course.
Syllabus
  • 1. Terminology of the text linguistic. Text - talk; sentence - utterance. Monologue, dialogue. Spoken and written tests.
  • Communication and communicative situation/discourse.
  • 2. The coherence of the texts, language means of the textual coherence. Connective words - connectors. Types of the connectors from structural point of view (words, compound connectors...). Connectors and word cathegories (particles, conjunctions...). The textual function of the connectors.
  • 3. Grammar and the text coherence (grammatical congruence and coherence, syntactical relations and coherence).
  • 4. Functional perspective of the sentence and text structure. Ellpsis, the types of ellipsis.
  • 5. Semantic relation of the vocabulary in the texts. Semantic identity - absolute identity, parcial identity. Semantic coherence.
  • 6. Connection of the textual units in the texts and connection of the textual units and texts with the discourse. Language means of the contact, their function.
  • 7. Complex analysis of the language means of the textual coherence in special texts.
