Course title: <\/strong>Syntactic Theories
\nCourse coordinator<\/strong>: Professor Irena Zovko Dinkovi\u0107
\nInstructor: <\/strong>Professor Irena Zovko Dinkovi\u0107
\nStatus: <\/strong>elective
\nECTS credits: <\/strong>6
\nSemester: <\/strong>1st or 3rd (winter)
\nEnrollment requirements:<\/strong> –<\/span><\/p>\n

Objectives: <\/strong>To introduce the students to major syntactic theories and approaches from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, and teach them about various ways of syntactic analysis and representation, as well as claims and hypotheses on the structure of language in general. This will provide them with the opportunity to apply the acquired theoretical background to their own research and connect it on a broader level with other sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n
