The major part of the syllabus in the summer term will be the analysis of compound and complex sentences and the correct identification of subordinate clauses and their structure. Other, equally important, topics will be: word order, sentence condensation, nominal versus verbal trends in English and in Czech, functional sentence perspective and highlighting structures and the Czech one-element verbal sentences and their English equivalents. As in the winter term, students will test their knowledge of the information they have gathered in the analysis of simple and multiple sentences in seminars. They are also supposed to know the basic typological differences between the English and Czech languages.
