SRS-class: Syntactic and discourse analyses

Methodical recommendations to perform the tasks:

The students have to read the lecture notes on the certain topics and analyse the other available material. Then they are to do the assignments given below the lecture notes. The students are supposed to get to know the theoretical accounts in the English Grammar and present their interpretation of the issues in question. The students need to learn to be critical in their reading as they would be moving beyond the sentence level in the conceptions of grammar. This course will attempt to describe the nature of the relationship between the morphological and syntactic aspects, and the various sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of discourse competence by examining the functions of the grammatical structures in discourse.
