This course covers fundamental concepts in morpho-syntactic analysis such as part of speech types, constituent structure, the syntax-semantics interface, and phenomena such as complementation, raising, control, passive and long-distance dependencies. We will emphasize formally precise encoding of linguistic analyses. Through the course, we will progressively build up a consistent grammar for a fragment of English. Problem sets will introduce data and phenomena from other languages. We will start and finish by comparing various approaches to the study of syntax.
By the end of this course students will be able to: Recognize certain classes of syntactic phenomena Build analyses of those phenomena in a precise framework Apply the process of building a formalized analysis to test linguistic hypotheses Use LaTeX to format linguistic papers |
