Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to understand principles which govern composition of sentences from words. These informations allow him to work with structures hidden behind linearity of expressions of natural language and allow him to actively use theoretical tools, which modern formal linguistics offer, to analyse syntactic structures of natural language sentences. This course is moreover aimed at practical exercises of theoretical knowledge gained in the lecture OJ102 (Introduction to syntax) to a material from natural language.
