Dr Adelija Čulić Viskota, senior lecturer<br />

After the completion of the course, the student is expected to understand<br />

<strong>English</strong> syntax, the basic word order restrictions, and the fundamental<br />

differences between Croatian and <strong>English</strong> syntax. The student should be<br />

able to analyse <strong>English</strong> and Croatian sentence structure in various<br />

theoretical frameworks. S/he is also expected to have developed the ability<br />

to apply the knowledge of syntax to the solution of various practical<br />

problems related to second language acquisition, language typology,<br />

translation theory and computability of natural language syntax.<br />

Competences and skills acquired upon the completion of undergraduate<br />

(BA) degree programme in <strong>English</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> or a similar programme.<br />

This course introduces the syntactic regularities found in <strong>English</strong> and<br />

fundamental linguistic strategies, instruments and models to describe and<br />

analyse them. This course is both, descriptive, data-driven and theoretical,<br />

focusing on real data found in tree banks and corpora, as well as on<br />

theoretical aspects of word order regularities. One important aspect lies on<br />

the typological differences between <strong>English</strong> and Croatian syntax.<br />
