Deskripsi:
The aim of the course is to provide the students with some knowledge of English morphology, such as the concept of morphemes and their allomorphs, principles of descriptive analysis in English morphology, principles of identifying and isolating morphemes, and types of morphemes, such as bound versus free morphemes, roots versus stems, and roots versus non-roots. The course is also designed to assist students in mastering the basic theory of English Syntax, including the four syntactic structures, generative grammar, syntactic categories and functions, phrase structure rules, and transformational rules. Understanding English Morphology and English Syntax concepts will help students apply the knowledge in language configuration in academic/professional spheres. Moreover, the students can conduct elementary research through the use of ICT to facilitate their critical/analytical thinking.
