Prerequisites and co-requisites
The student should successfully master the following academic disciplines: "English(1st and 2nd semesters)" and "Fundamentals of Linguistics". The student should be familiar with basic linguistic concepts, be able to apply linguistic tools in practice, possess elementary skills in selecting, analyzing, and interpreting linguistic facts, and communicate on linguistic topics.
Course content
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamental questions of theoretical grammar of the English language and to develop their understanding of the essence of grammatical phenomena, terms, and categories. Part 1, studied in the III semester, is dedicated to defining the place of theoretical grammar among other linguistic disciplines and highlights the morphological features of the English language. The study of theoretical grammar deepens, generalizes, and systematizes students' knowledge, serving as a foundation for conducting their linguistic research. The discipline concludes with an intermediate assessment.
