Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course is devoted to the transition from the Theory of Government and Binding (GB) to the Minimalist Program. We will be using two recently published minimalist course books (Understanding Minimalism and A Course in Minimalist Syntax).
Assessment and permitted materials
Written
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The goal of the course is to introduce and discuss the intricacies of the minimalist framework and at the same time set the relevant problems against the GB-background. Due to that, some past GB-experience is necessary to follow the course.
Examination topics
The course is based on the assigned readings and further discussion thereof.
