Learning outcomes
|
The seminar is intended for philological doctoral students who are interested in grammar, abstract models of language, are able to study specialized literature in English and have taken basic courses in syntax. The course will enable them to broaden their knowledge of linguistics and introduce them to one of the modern approaches to grammar. The course aims to introduce students to the contemporary generative model of linguistic analysis. This is an introductory course, the aim of which is to provide a brief introduction to the historical context of the emergence and development of the generative framework and to demonstrate a concrete analysis of a verbal phrase. Attention will be given to either nominal or verbal projection, depending on the students' particular focus. NP: nominal phrase structure, functional projection, nominal features, correspondence, quantification NP: lexical-functional domain relation, argument structure, subject-predicate correspondence, infinitive. The literature to be studied will be chosen from the English-speaking domain and with analysis of mainly English language material. Since this is a model proclaiming the universality of its claims, most of the examples will be in the domain of English. For their final paper, students will choose a narrow range within the topics discussed and will develop alternative analyses available in the generative press.
Obtaining the skill to interpret in an independent and well-grounded way modern literary works.
