Written communication in the academic community is the fundamental basis for presenting theses and justifying the conclusions obtained from their verification. In this process, established rules have been developed for shaping syntactic constructions, within which the relationships between the whole of an academic text and its parts, and between the components and wholes connected by the elements of academic text, are defined. The concept that is superior to academic syntax is academic grammar, through which an academic text is considered and organized on a broader level. The evaluation of academic grammar and syntax has objectively measurable indicators that provide insight into the reception of an academic text within the academic community. The promotion of academic knowledge involves strategies for making academic texts accessible to a wider audience.
1. Academic Grammar. Academic Text – Definitions, Concept, Types, and Characteristics. Stylistic, Normative, and Ethical Guidelines.
2. Academic thesis – posing, justifying, analyzing, and concluding.
3. Written and oral reporting on the academic thesis. Defense of the academic thesis. Identification of limitations and contributions.
4. Academic Syntax. The shaping of syntactic constructions – parts of an academic text, components within an academic text, and the whole of an academic text. Academic paratext (lists of abbreviations, glossaries, tables, charts, diagrams, and appendices).
5. Evaluations of academic grammar and syntax. Anti-plagiarism programs, citation tracking platforms, promotion of academic knowledge.
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
1. Analyze the academic text according to the rules of academic grammar and syntax.
2. Reporting on scientific research results
3. Self-assess the quality of one's own academic work
