| Unit Description |
The unit introduces students to Chomsky's theory of grammar, the central theory of modern linguistics. We cover some of the core ideas and methods of generative syntax including X-bar theory, government and binding, raising and control, and the argument/adjunct distinction. Students are encouraged to think critically about the implications of a formal model of grammar, and to apply the methods learnt to a range of data from language acquisition and languages other than English. |
