LELA20022 20 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 2 Simone De Cia Unit coordinator Linguistics & English Language 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Middle part of Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 10.0 <p>This course builds on “English Word and Sentence Structure” to deepen students’ knowledge of the grammatical analysis of a language. Empirically, it covers a comprehensive set of morpho-syntactic and word order phenomena. The data comes mainly from English, but some phenomena require data from other languages. We consider how more abstract generalisations can be made over the data and how these generalisations can be captured with formal tools.</p> <p>This course builds on “English Word and Sentence Structure” to deepen students’ knowledge of the grammatical analysis of a language.

We consider how more abstract generalisations can be made over the data and how these generalisations can be captured with formal tools.</p> <div>The principal aims of the course unit are as follows:</div><ul><li>to introduce students to language data that illustrate some central properties of morpho-syntax;</li><li>to introduce the students to the basic principles and formal tools of a syntactic framework;</li><li>to show the students how to apply the tools of that framework to the data sets in order to capture generalisations;</li><li>to give students a sense of what can be gained by constructing an abstract model for a complex dataset</li></ul> <p>By the end of this course students will:</p><ul><li>understand the crucial properties of a core set of morpho-syntactic data;</li><li>learn how data in formal grammar is used, grammatically judged and presented professionally:</li><li>apply formal tools in syntax to data sets.</li></ul> <p>&nbsp;By the end of this course students will:</p> <ul> <li> make generalisations over complex data sets;</li> <li> acquire abstract concepts;</li> <li> understand the value of constructing an abstract model for a complex dataset;</li> <li> understand that if they read a complex argument a second time, they understand it better than the first time they read it.</li> </ul> <p>By the end of this course students will:</p> <ul> <li> manipulate the tools of a formal system;</li> <li> analyse unfamiliar language data and detect patterns;</li> <li> understand that if they read a complex argument a second time, they understand it better than the first time they read it.</li> </ul> <p>All intellectual and practical skills listed above are transferrable. Personal skills that will be developed include independence, perseverance, working to a deadline, time management, and the confidence to trust your own intelligence.&nbsp;</p> All skills listed can help students enter a suitable career and progress through it at an appropriate rate. 0 Other 100% <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Exam</td> <td>70%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Assignments</td> <td>30%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Homework assignments</td> <td>N/A</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <figure class="table"><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="664"><tbody><tr><td style="height:19px;width:332px;"><p style="margin-left:18.0pt;"><strong>Feedback method</strong></p></td><td style="height:19px;width:332px;"><p style="margin-left:18.0pt;"><strong>Formative or summative</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">Discussion board on Canvas</td><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">formative</td></tr><tr><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">Oral feedback through tutorial discussions</td><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">formative</td></tr><tr><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">Global feedback on assignments</td><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">formative and summative</td></tr><tr><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">Individual meeting with lecturer on request</td><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">formative</td></tr><tr><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">Feedback on exam</td><td style="height:19px;width:332px;">formative and summative</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>&nbsp;</p> LELA10301 English Word and Sentence Structure Pre-Requisite Compulsory Pre-req of LELA10301<p>Compulsory Pre-Requisite: LELA10301: English Word and Sentence Structure.
