Dutch linguistics II
This course has two main objectives: on a theoretical level, it aims at analysing lexical and constructional properties of Dutch, especially posture and placement verbs and other tyopes of spatial constructions. On a practical level, its aim is to further develop the language proficiency skills of the students (both receptive and productive skills).
In the practical part, we will train the communicative skills of the students by organizing the following activities:
- reading and listening comprehension exercises;
- essay-writing;
- the collection of a newspaper file.
