Chomsky's characterization of human language consists of two major insights: it is a "biological" entity, and it operates in a "computational/generative" manner (i.e., it is precise and formally explicit). The focus of this course is the computational/generative aspect of the Chomskyan approach to linguistics. If you would like to know more about the biological aspect (which would give you a wider perspective of linguistics), please consider sitting in on my undergraduate course "Language & the Human Mind." The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to the mainline version of Government and Binding Theory, or GB-theory, using as a basis Noam Chomsky’s more recent writings. The aim of this course is not to make the students familiar with all the literature published within the GB framework, but rather to enable them to read this literature themselves, to understand it and to evaluate it independently. In other words, we have not attempted to present the full intricacy of today’s version of “the best theory,” and we have forsaken some points of formalization and of how details are resolved, in favor of stressing important ideas and questions and how they have developed. As a result, students will become acquainted with the history and general content of generative grammar and – most important in an ever-changing field – with how linguists actually develop their theories.
Introduction to Linguistics
Lecture and discussion I will hold extra lecture/review sessions based on the pace of regular lecture sessions. The time/location of extra lecture/review sessions will be announced in class.
Your final grade will be the cumulative result of the following: ==For undergraduate students== 10% = Participation 30% = Test #1 30% = Test #2 30% = Test #3 ==For graduate students== 20% = Participation 20% = Test #1 20% = Test #2 20% = Test #3 20% = Squib (= presentation & the final paper)
