The course in English morphology adopts a systemic-functional perspective of grammar: it approaches grammar primarily as a repository of expressive resources to be functionally used, rather than as a mere list of structures to be described, which are at the language users´ disposal to their communicative needs. The major principle in the systematic presentation of grammatical resources of English is how they enable its users to experience different aspects of the world. The up-to date and real-life illustrative material demonstrates the functioning of the resources in the processes of making meaning in various types of discourse, such as conversing, news reporting, advertising, etc. The ultimate goal of the course is to offer students an analytical tool which is necessary for understanding and critical evaluation of others´ as well as their own uses of language and for developing competent and empowered language users.
