Course Content

This course will discuss the main questions and some of the discoveries in the field of formal study of language, with an emphasis on morpho phonology and syntax, and the interface between the two. The focus will be on the hierarchical organization of language and the way this organization yields similarities in phenomena coming from completely unrelated languages.
Since the study of language involves learning not only facts about language but also the procedures used in discovering these facts, the course will consist of both lecture/discussion and problem-solving /analysis sessions in which linguistic data are examined to illustrate linguistic principles and concepts.
