KB

CHNU, Chernivtsi, 26 February 2014

Entities

• Type: PERSON/GOD & GROUP– Individuals (Marcus Vinicius, the emperor), groups (his

mother and father, the soldiers) and classes (emperor)– Syntactic realisation: NPs (determiners, adjectives,

complement PPs included; but NO relative clauses)– Could be imbricated ([[the young lady]’s mother])

Conclusions

• Research and teaching must go together• As a professor-researcher you can do more ways: – First experiment with students daring project ideas,

then root your project proposals on them– First, participate in projects, then conceptualise the

knowledge acquired and teach it– Recycle and reinvigorate failed projects in teaching

• Advance the SOTA in publications by iteratively enhancing student work at all levels
