To be able to analyze syntactic units according to the principles of the formal and grammatical aspect (syntactic analysis of a phrase, a simple sentence, a complex sentence). To differentiate elementary / non-elementary syntactic structures. To model sentences (structural diagrams of a simple and complex sentence). To have elementary skills in research work: search, process, and analyze information from various sources. To show independence in solving problematic issues of linguistic pragmatics of language communication. To be able to use the means of scientific style to produce oral and written messages.

The course Communicative and semantic syntax – Part 1 of a complex discipline Linguopragmatics of language communication is aimed at studying the conceptual foundations of semantic and syntactic (Content Part 1) and communicative (Content Part 2) grammar, which enables a multidimensional linguistic characterization of sentence and text fragments of coherent speech; allows to combine differential and integrative approaches in the syntactic analysis of textual material; to model sentence structures, correlating them with typical extralinguistic situations (semantic syntax); to contextually vary textual units (communicative syntax); to optimize linguistic methods and techniques in the study of multidimensional ontological features of communicative units.

As a research component of the “Applied Linguistics (Translation, Editing, and Expert Linguistic Analysis)” educational program the course involves methods and technologies of seminars that contribute to the development and improvement of master's students' research skills. Types of educational activities: lecture, seminar, independent learning.

The total grade is formed by the points obtained by the student in the process of mastering the material from the entire course. The grade consists of the points obtained for classroom work which includes independent work on processing theoretical material and linguistic analysis of speech material: oral answers, supplementary (participation in a discussion), tests, and a presentation). In case of absence from the seminar, the student must work the seminar assignment off. Assessment of work: 1. Oral answers, additions, participation in discussions at lectures and seminars, tests: - 45/70 points. 2. Presentation: - 15/30 points (20 points for preparation + 10 points for presentation). Final assessment: credit.
