Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is Field Methods "lite": data are transcribed and nicely printed out, and the focus is what happens within one word. The students will be trained on their practical ability to recognize, describe and analyse typologically disparate morphological and morphosyntactic patterns from raw linguistic data.

This course is divided into two parts, one focused on morphophonology and morphology proper, the other on morphosyntactic typology. In the first part, students will learn the different ways in which languages express given ideas (morphosyntactic features) in sound (the realized word-form). In the second part, students will be familiarized with the typological range of different sets of morphosyntactic features expressed on the word.
