Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
|
||
| While the course of English Linguistics 1 discusses semantic categories associated with the noun phrase and verb phrase, English Linguistics 2 will enhance the students' insight into the linguistic units that are higher on the grammatical rank scale, i.e. the clause and the sentence. In addition, it familiarizes students with topics beyond the sentence level, which will make them more conscious of how they can organize their texts (i.e. it will indirectly benefit their writing skills). | ||
