Annotation: This is an introduction to the basic theoretical knowledge and systematic description of the English morphological structure and the parts of speech (with an emphasis on the noun) in the contemporary English. It also aims to give the students practical knowledge which they can apply when working as teachers in the secondary schools. The module starts with the English word classes and their main characteristics. The students learn about the basic terminology used in the English grammar. The course also presents the basic grammatical categories of the noun: number, gender, and case; the article and its functions; the specific vs. generic opposition and the different approaches of research (traditional, contrastive, cognitive). The achievements of contemporary linguistics are acknowledged and new terms are introduced together with the traditional terminology to explain the linguistic phenomena more adequately. The theoretical material is necessary for solving practical problems with a different degree of difficulty; to make a connection between theory and practice. Students are expected to apply their theoretical knowledge in the analyses of grammatical phenomena by making comparisons with Bulgarian, especially in cases in which there are no one-to-one equivalents in the two languages and the lack of analogies may cause misunderstanding. At the end of the course the students should have detailed knowledge of the morphological characteristics of the English word classes, the different types of nouns in English, the categories of the noun, namely Number, Gender and Case. They need also to be familiar with some controversies in these areas. Learners should be able to analyse examples from corpora and understand their implications for different linguistic approaches constructing their own analyses and descriptions, demonstrating problem-solving and data-gathering skills. =========================
