Anybody is allowed to take the test without completing homeworks; however, the final grade will be registered in SIS only after completing them.

Note: 40% of the total score for the final test is necessary for passing!

Phrase trees, dependency trees, non-dependency relations.
Functional Generative Description, structural layers, coordination, differences between the theory and the PDT.
Lower layers in FGD, word-form and morphological layers in the PDT, asymmetric dualism.
Analytical layer (prepositions, verbal complements, combined functions, modal verbs, word order).
Tectogrammatical layer (structure, functors, tectogrammatical lemma, valency, grammatemes, ellipses, coreference, reflexivity, topic-focus articulation, personal names, direct speech).
Valency; PDT Vallex.
Annotation schema, data format (XML), tools (TrEd, PML-TQ).

All homeworks must be committed into the https://svn.ms.mff.cuni.cz/svn/undergrads/students svn repository; do not send your homeworks by e-mail.
Submit your work into your personal directories.
There is an explicit deadline for submitting each homework - Wednesday before midnight.
If the deadline is not met, ask for additional homework. All homeworks must be submitted in order to get the credit (zápočet).
You can solve an additional homework even if you submitted the normal homework in time (i.e., you can improve your average by solving some of the additional homeworks).
You have to e-mail us to confirm your additional homework is ready to be rated. All additional homeworks must be submitted at least one week before the credit.
Each student is supposed to create all homework solutions himself/herself; any cheating will be penalised (but you can send us an e-mail if you are stuck).
