Course objectives
Contemporary Czech Syntax 2 follows the Contemporary Czech Syntax 1; the analysis of the compound sentence and complex sentence follows the analysis of the sentence.
The targets:
1. Establishment of the theoretical knowledge of the structure and semantics of the compound and complex sentences.
2. Establishment of the ability to depict the structure of the compound and complex sentence, to explain the relationship of them and the types of clauses.
3. Development of the ability to compare structure of various types of the compound and combined sentences and to explain the parallel of the structure of the elementary sentence, compound and complex sentences.
Learning outcomes
It is presupposed the students after finishing the course are able:
(a) to analyse compound sentence and complex sentence;
(b) to explain semantic and formal relation in the complex sentence and compound sentence; to know types of clauses and types of paratactic relationships.
(c) to depict the structure of the complex and compound sentences;
(d) to explain relation of the sentences, complex or compound sentences in the text.
Syllabus
  • 1. Criteria for the differentiation between sentence and compound sentence, sentence and complex sentence.
