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 />
