    Tuesday / 13.10 – 14.40 (VI-B)
    Thursday / 16.20 – 17.50 (VI-C)
    Prerequisite : Students must have passed:
    1. Phonology
    2. Morphology
    3. Structure I - III.
    Course Description
    Syntax studies how words are combined to form phrases and clauses or
    sentences and the rules that govern the formation. This branch of
    linguistic study specifically looks at:
    (a). The relationship among components / constituents in a syntactic
    structures.
    (b). The hierarchical order of the components in the structure.
    (c). The function of the elements that build up the structure.
    (d). The combination and the structures of those syntactic units which are
    larger than clauses and simple sentences, including compound and
    complex sentences and non-finite sentences.
    Course Objectives
    Upon the completion of this course, participants are expected :
    (a). To develop the skill of syntactic argumentation and critical evaluation of
    syntactic arguments.
    (b). To become familiar with the central issues in generative syntax, with sample
    analysis of syntactic construction of English sentences and their analysis.
    (c). To become familiar with various syntactic structures in general, with sample
    analysis of English sentences in order to construct syntactically correct
    sentences in their daily academic tasks.
    (d). To be able to make use of syntactic concepts in syntactic analysis of any
    language, with sample analysis of English sentences.
    (d). To be able to analyze various syntactic structures in general and English
    constructions in particular, critically according to syntactic theories.

    Course Requirements:
    1. All teachings for this subject are carried out either synchronously or
    asynchronously. Synchronous meetings are done in classrooms,
    whereas asynchronous meetings can be carried out through any
    mode of online activities, including through SiAdikNona.
    2. All learning materials will be provided in the form of pdf documents,
    video or online links made known to students in various ways. In
    case when the materials are given in the form of ULR links, or
    being uploaded to SiAdikNona, students are obliged to access the
    materials and to download the materials for their own copy.
    3. Learning materials may also be delivered directly through class
    WA group. For this purpose, each class taking this subject, must
    create a WA group with members containing all the students doing
    the subject and the lecturer of the subject.
    Course Assessment
    1. Assessment will be strictly objective and carried out purely based on
    students’ individual academic performance and soft skill.
    2. There are four components of assessment including
    (a) assignments (TUGAS), at least 2 (two); each before and after mid-
    semester test.
    (b) a mid-semester test (UTS = Ujian Tengah Semester),
    (c) a final semester test (UAS = Ujian Akhir Semester)
    (d) soft-skill (including such aspects as evaluation on online
    attendance and participation; discipline of submitting assignment).
    3. Weight of the assessment components are:
    a. Assignments (Tugas) at least 2 (NT) = 15 %
    b. Mid-semester test (UTS) = 30 %
    c. Final semester test (UAS ) = 30 %
    d. Soft-skill (SS) = 25 %
    4. Final score calculation (NA):

    (NT x 15) + (UTS x 30) + (UAS x 30) + (SS x 25)


    NA =
    100
