Full-time form

The students have to know general information about the nature, structure, functions, universal characteristics of language, the types and functions of language units. They also have to possess the skills of analysis of language units, forms and syntactic constructions, processing and interpretation of scientific texts.

The discipline aims at acquainting students with the main issues and problems of general linguistics, with the conceptual and terminological apparatus of language science, outlining the methodological coordinate system, which teaches all the linguistic disciplines. The subject lets students know the most important scientific concepts of the language: its nature, functions, origins, laws of development, its relationship with extra lingual phenomena, the main problems and issues of linguistics, areas of linguistic research, the structure of the language system, characteristics and functions of its structural units and levels. It provides the necessary theoretical and methodological basis for the study of other linguistic disciplines.

Forms of study consist of lectures, seminars, and students’ self-study. Teaching methods include oral answers at the seminars; extra answers and participation in discussions; tests and a final test paper.

The summative assessment is formed by the sum of all the points obtained by the student in the process of mastering the material from the entire course. It consists of points obtained for classroom activity (oral answers: 24/40 points; extra answers and participation in the discussion: 10/20 points; tests: 14/20 points) and final test paper (in the form of questions with open answers): 12 / 20 points. All types of work total at a maximum of 100 points, a minimum of 60 points.
