2. Implementation of rigorous methods in linguistic analysis by application of tests. Capability of identifying problems.
3. Knowledge of basic aspects of the Lexicon and Syntax of Portuguese language.
The students should have acquired basic tools for analyzing the syntactic and semantic nature of verbs and should also have acquired fundamental knowledge on the simple sentences syntax (like possible word orders) as well as some specificities of Portuguese, including other varieties like Brazilian Portuguese.
