वाक्यविज्ञान के विविध विषयों पर सरल भाषा में सामग्री
Linguistics 522
|
Description |
This course will serve as an introduction
to the field of syntax, focusing on the Principles and Parameters framework and
concluding with a brief introduction to Minimalism.
|
Practice |
The course will use the textbook Syntax:
A Generative Introduction, by Andrew Carnie, available in the
campus bookstore. Please get the 3rd edition. The 2nd edition is no longer
being used. There will be exercises for most of the chapters covered.
The course begins with an introduction to
constituents and trees, introduces some structural concepts such as dominance
and C-Command, and then develops some applications such as the Binding Theory,
and some theoretical hypotheses, such as X-Bar Theory.
The meat of the course is then a treatment
of movement of various kinds, including head movement and NP movement.
A virtue of the text is that examples and
exercises from numerous languages are used, affording the student the
opportunity to evaluate some of the claims made about the universality of the
theory.
