Anthropology 248a:
Introduction to Syntax and Semantics
Course description
An introduction to contemporary generative syntax and semantics: lexical categories, lexical semantics, morphology in relation to syntax, constituency, dependency, grammatical relations, argument structure, sentential semantics focussing especially on the relation between semantic structure and syntactic structure. The primary language discussed will be English but examples will be drawn from other languages where appropriate.
One of the goals of this course is to teach scientific thinking and argumentation skills, drawing on natural language data. Students will learn how to formulate and test hypotheses and how to evaluate different approaches to linguistics.
