Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

[Die LV wird auf Englisch abgehalten]
In this proseminar we will go deeper into some of the theoretical and empirical issues introduced in the course 'VU Grammatiktheorie', at the same time as we broaden our scope of inquiry to yet other syntactic phenomena. This course will introduce Minimalist ideas about syntax focusing on its lesser-known variant Flexible Syntax (Neeleman and Weerman 1999). We will familiarise ourselves with the basic tenets of Minimalism and distinguish Flexible Syntax from more mainstream variants, gradually gaining a better understanding of human grammar through evaluating the theories' similarities and differences. We will look at different aspects of grammar including a selection of the following: theta-role assignment and the lexicon, agreement, movement, optionality, the interfaces between syntax and morphology, syntax and information structure, and syntax and PF. On an empirical level we will touch upon many topics selecting from the following: particle verbs, secondary predication, OV-VO asymmetries, symmetries in syntax, scrambling, complementiser agreement, negation, topic and focus movement, etc.
