Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar will focus on theoretical and empirical issues surrounding (structural) deficiency and redundancy in natural language. Its empirical heart will consist in discussing arguably deficient elements such as clitics and null pronouns on the one hand, and reduplication (or doubling) phenomena (such as clitic doubling, determiner doubling, verb doubling, ...) on the other, as well as their modelling in a formal theory of grammar.

Assessment and permitted materials

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