The main theme of this course is Grammar Analysis for Communication.
We will review some grammar theme (B1 to B2 level) from communicative point of view. The aim is not to study grammar rules, but to understand how grammatical forms relates to the communicative intention.
The linguistic unit of analysis is the sentence (subject + verb) or clause, but we will try go beyond the structural analysis using a framework of information about the context of the sentence (context, speaker, recipient, message). Also imagine the communicative intentions of the speaker and use your imagination as to how the message might be interpreted by the receiver.
