Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is aimed at students interested in generative syntax and its consecutive (constantly changing) "phases".

Assessment and permitted materials

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

We will be using two recently published minimalist course books (Understanding Minimalism and A Course in Minimalist Syntax) interchangeably with the original sources.
