Description
This module offers a comprehensive overview of the grammar of contemporary English. During the first term we start with the basic building blocks of word classes, phrases and clauses, as well as grammatical functions. During the second term we discuss more complex syntactic structures. A major feature of the module is that you will be trained to apply the principles of syntactic argumentation.
This 30-credit module is compulsory for all students on the MA in English Linguistics. It is taught in two-hour long weekly seminars over two terms, and is assessed by a three-hour written exam.
