PLO 6. Use information and communicative technologies to solve complicated specialized tasks and professional issues. PLO 7. To understand major problems of philology and approaches to their solution with the use of relevant methods, in particular, innovative interdisciplinary approaches of applied (computational) linguistics and information technologies; to explain their interrelation in the integrated system of interdisciplinary knowledge. PLO 12. To analyze language units, phenomena, and processes by methods of structural, mathematical, and computational linguistics; to represent the processes of analysis and synthesis of linguistic objects in an algorithmic way.

Prerequisites and co-requisites
Before starting this course, students should know the category-concept apparatus of theoretical linguistics (aspects of sentence analysis in modern syntactic science; basic theoretical concepts of syntax: units of speech/speech; grammatical syntactic meaning, syntactic connections and relations that form a sentence as a whole, syntactically continuous unit; the typology of the sentence, which includes its following features: structure; the ability to divide into functional components; the composition of the grammatical base; the presence of secondary parts of the sentence; the presence of structurally and semantically necessary components; the purpose of the statement; emotional coloring; the way the content is designed.
Course content
The goal of the discipline is to familiarize students with the linguistic principles of automatic syntactic analysis (ASA): the place of automatic syntactic analysis in the process of automatic processing of textual information, the basic concepts of syntax (sentences, types of connections, types of semantic-syntactic relations); the role of the distributive method and the method of direct components in the development of ASA; dependency grammar as a way of representing the syntactic structure of a sentence; dependency trees in ASA systems.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes, independent work. Types of work and forms of their control: Oral answer at the seminar class. Writing assignments in Google Classroom. Lab on syntactic annotation in the Ukrainian language corpus. Final control test.
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment of theoretical training - learning outcomes (knowledge) - 40% of the total assessment, and assessment of practical training - learning outcomes (skills, communication, autonomy, and responsibility) - 60% of the overall assessment. Evaluation of the semester work: answer in the seminar class - 5/2 points, performance of two individual tasks - 15/10 p., control test - 21/14 p. The overall grade for the semester consists of points received for classroom work, which synthesizes independent work on processing theoretical material for classroom preparation. All types of work for the semester have a total of 60/36 points. The discipline ends with the 40/24 exam.
