Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is devoted to the transition from the Teory 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.
