Course Syllabus

Abstract

The aim of the course of Theoretical Grammar of the English Language is to present a theoretical description of its grammatical system, i.e. to scientifically analyze and define its grammatical categories and study the mechanisms of grammatical formation of utterances out of words in the process of speech making. The course “Stylistics” is aimed to develop awareness of the system of expressive resources and stylistic devices of the English language in line with the effects achieved. Students develop their text skills viewing the text as a unity of semantic, functional, structural and stylistic elements. Within the format of the course, linguistic and style-forming characteristics of texts belonging to different functional styles are analyzed. The course contains novel elements - juxtaposition of style and discourse analyses; narrotological analysis of emotive prose.Acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills should be applied in the process of writing the graduation paper.

Learning Objectives

• Present an introduction to the problems of up-to-date linguistic study of English on a systemic basis
• Give the students a grounding of basic theories, methodology and scientific approaches to the problems of theoretical aspects of English Grammar

• Train the students for skill-based communication. end of the course “Theoretical Grammar”, students get an idea of Theoretical Grammence, language as a system, grammatical structure of the English language, grammaories, morphology and syntax
• to help students form an integrated view of the system of expressive resources of the language, their mechanisms and functions in different kinds of texts
• to lay theoretic foundations for conducting research in linguostylistcs through teaching specialist terminology and familiarizing students with the most relevant research methods
• to develop text interpretation skills based on the pragmatic functions of the text
• to teach students to differentiate stylistically coloured units with regard to their appropriateness
