Course objectives
Continuation of normative grammar of the Attic dialect of Ancient Greek. The aim of the course is the survey of the main themes of the Ancient Greek grammar and syntax, so that the student would be able to read the original texts (with help of a dictionary).
At the end of the course students should be able to: reproduce grammatical rules and paradigms studied within the course (vide syllabus of the course); apply grammatical rules in translating sentences into Greek and into Czech; describe the grammatical structure of a clause and distinguish morphological and syntactic devices used in the sentence; use synonymous expressive means to express selected grammatical phenomena; record selected vocabulary (with emphasis on verbs).
