Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar will focus on the properties of psych(ological verbs) (e.g. fear, frighten, please). Taking as a point of departure, Landau's discussion of the special character of these verbs, we will describe their behavior within a language and across languages and discuss possible syntactic analyses of their properties.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students are expected to do the readings before coming to class, attend class, participate actively, make a presentation with a handout, which will take place on the last session of the seminar, and write a squib analysing something having to do with the topic of the seminar. Details will be discussed in class.
