The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the fundamental properties of English syntax. In doing so, it introduces the basic concepts of syntactic theory, as well as the tools necessary to analyze any given language. This provides us with insight with respect to what linguists call the Universal Grammar (the ‘supra-grammar’ that is believed to underlie all human languages). Although this course deals exclusively with English, the material covered in the class will not be unique to English. Linguists believe that one can learn about what drives human languages by studying a single language. This knowledge can then be used when dealing with a different language. You should be able to have a better idea how this works at the end of the class.
Introduction to Linguistics If you have not taken Introduction to Linguistics, you cannot expect to do well in this class. It is not advisable to take Introduction to Linguistics and this course concurrently either.
