Block 3
Tuesday & Thursday, 12:00-1:20 pm (NY)

(7:00-8:20 pm, Kyiv/St. P)

An Introduction to Syntax course explores how sentences are structured in human language. It focuses on the rules and patterns that determine how words combine to form phrases and sentences, including concepts like word order, grammatical relationships, and sentence hierarchy. Students learn to analyze sentence structures using tools such as tree diagrams and examine how syntactic systems differ across languages. This course provides a foundation for understanding linguistic theory and the underlying systems that shape language structure.
