Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar targets two related audiences, namely: (i) advanced BA students who want to write their second BA thesis (ECTS 15) on a topic in linguistic theory or psycho-/patho-linguistics; and (ii) MA1-M3 students (ECTS 8). Its thematic focus is intended to be on (Head, A, and operator, or A-bar) movement, it will however be tailored to the needs and wishes of actual seminar participants (especially for BA students). The goals of the seminar are thus to deepen, consolidate and advance students' knowledge on foundational matters in the theory of grammar and concomitant psycho-/patho-linguistic research, as well as to encourage students to engage in and carry out independent research.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students are expected to do the readings before coming to class, come to class, participate actively, take turns in protocoling the sessions, make a presentation with a handout, and write a paper analyzing something having to do with the topic of the seminar and giving arguments for preferring a proposed analysis to alternatives from the literature. Further details will be discussed in class.
