Course objectives
The aims of the course are 1) to get the students acquainted with the traditional Czech theories about the structure of a sentence as the elementary unit of the language system/of a text, 2. to help them understand the possibilities of the system for creating correct Czech sentences, 3. to help them understand semantic and formal relations among sentence elements. At the end of the course the students should be able to understand and explain the difference between the notions of sentence and utterance. The seminar is orientated practically, i.e. the focus is on application of the particular knowledge into practice when working with a text. Students will also learn rules for correct analysis of a sentence and basic units if communication, using traditional (V. Šmilauer) as well as valency- and semantically-orientated syntax (F. Daneš, M. Grepl).

Teaching methods
The methods used include theoretical and practical skills, the theoretical ones being to read assigned scholarly materials, the practical ones to analyze concrete Czech sentences/texts – students independently prepare an analysis for each seminar, the preparations are then checked in the seminars.
Assessment methods
To complete the course successfully, it is necessary 1) to participate actively and regularly in the seminars (to read assigned texts and to prepare for the seminars beforehand; the attendance is compulsory), 2) to succeed in a written exam (test). The test is divided into two parts (each of them contains approximately 25 items); to complete the exam successfully, it is necessary to reach at least 70% of the points in each of the parts.
