Learning objectives

On successful completion of this module, students should be able to: - describe the basic concepts of grammar; - apply their theoretical knowledge to concrete linguistic data, i.e., analyze German sentences with respect to the so-called "Felderanalyse", the syntactic functions and the other concepts that will be introduced during classes; - appraise the importance of the theoretic framework for the analysis and interpretation of data; - demonstrate to have the German language skills that correspond to the B1 level of the CEFR.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The student is supposed to know the basics of logical analysis (syntactic functions) and grammatical analysis (word classes/parts of speech)

Program

"The structure of the German sentence. Introduction to syntactic analysis". The course introduces the student to the syntactic analysis of the German language (constituent analysis; classification of lexical and syntagmatic categories; syntactic functions and grammatical relations) from the perspective of the so-called "Felderanalyse", peculiar to the German grammatical tradition. Non-attending students will agree with the teacher for some bibliographic additions
