2nd semester 2011-2012
Wednesday 10:00-14:00

This seminar focuses on core issues of the architecture of the syntactic component of grammar and its interfaces with other components. This includes questions about:

• The nature and content of syntactic representations
• The nature of syntactic operations and constraints
• The 'division of labor' between syntax and the lexicon and the interface between syntax and morphology
• The extent to which functional projections are fixed and universal
• Derivational versus non-derivational approaches to syntax

Prerequisites: 287 or 987; 587 recommended

This seminar is open to BA, MA and PhD students
