Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar is on Differential Object Marking (DOM), a phenomenon whereby some objects but not others are marked in some way (e.g. case, object agreement). Though the vast typological work on DOM converges on the generalization that objects which are prominent in ways usually associated with subjects (e.g. high in animacy, specificity and/or definiteness) are more likely to be overtly marked than those which are not, languages vary substantially in terms of exactly which classes of objects are marked and how they are marked. Precisely therefore DOM is an interesting phenomenon for the study of the relation between universal linguistic principles and language-particular variation.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students are expected to do the readings before coming to class, come to class, participate actively, take turns in protocoling the sessions, make a presentation with a handout, and write a paper analyzing something having to do with differential object marking and giving arguments for preferring a proposed analysis to alternatives from the literature. Details will be discussed in class.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

To deepen, consolidate and advance students' knowledge on syntactic typology and linguistic theorizing (specifically the relation between formal features like case on the one hand, and animacy, specificity, definiteness and (other) information structure ingredients on the other), as well as to encourage students to engage in and carry out independent research.
