Abstract

The goals of studying the discipline "Functional Models in Natural Language" are getting acquainted with the basic aspects of linguistic modelling and with their application for the solution of practical tasks in the field of applied linguistics.

Learning Objectives

• The course is designed to help the students to deepen their knowledge of the contemporary trends in linguistics. Lectures are followed by seminars, where the essential concepts and tenets of each theory are discussed. The course focuses on major theories in linguistics of the 20th and 21st century that have been developing from the time of its appearance as a scholarly discipline. The course covers such fields and trends of language studies as American structuralism (L. Bloomfield), functionalist linguistics (the Prague school), generative linguistics (N. Chomsky), cognitive linguistics (G. Lakoff) and semantics (J. Katz). The uniqueness of the course is in the use of authentic materials (academic articles and books) and the English language in the classroom, which is aimed to encourage the students’ confidence in professional communication.

Expected Learning Outcomes

• The learning objectives of the course are as follows: • to give the students knowledge of functional models in modern linguistics; • to help students master competencies, which will allow them to be successful in their professional interaction.
