Course objectives
The aim of the seminar is to provide an analysis of infinitive phrases in Czech, within various frames of formal grammar. Such analysis should demonstrate that the infinitive phrase in syntax carries various proportions of verbal structure: VP, vP, TP. The aim is also to offer students the possibility to deal with scholarly topics, including the bibliographical research.
Learning outcomes
The student will be able to use the knowledge of modern linguistic theories: (a) to analyse the embedding of Czech infinitive phrases; (b) to analyse the internal structure of infinitives; (c) to analyze the syntactic structure of infinitive phrases
Syllabus
