Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The focus of this seminar is intended to be on agreement and formal features. The overall goal is to explore the formal mechanisms by which agreement relations involving phi-features (person, number, gender) are derived. The empirical heart of the course will consist in discussing (partial) agreement phenomena (e.g. 'quirky' agreement in Icelandic), PH (person hierarchy) driven agreement displacement phenomena (e.g. in languages like Basque or Georgian), and PCC (person case constraint) phenomena (Bonet 1991), as well as the issue of variation concerning all these phenomena. Naturally a concomitant complexity of problems that will need to be addressed in some detail bears on issues relating to formal features in syntax, such as what the relationships between them are (cf. Bejar 2003), what governs their grouping into larger structures, how the inventory of features in a given language is determined, etc.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students are expected to do the readings before coming to class, come to class (compulsory attendance), participate actively by asking and answering questions, take turns in protocoling the sessions, make a presentation with a handout, and write either an overview paper, or a squib analyzing something having to do with the topic of the seminar and giving arguments for preferring a given analysis to alternatives from the literature.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students have a command of the literature on (the typology of) agreement phenomena and (main) analyses of those discussed in class, and a deepened knowledge of the formal mechanisms by which agreement relations involving formal features are derived.

Prüfungsstoff

All of the topics discussed in class (and protocoled on Moodle).
