Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this seminar we will examine some of the fundamental questions of morphology, starting with how bits of sound are paired with bits of meaning and with the syntactic features that govern syntactic derivation. We will examine several different perspectives on the questions that arise here, including lexicalism, nanosyntax, and Distributed Morphology; and we will consider as well the divide between "projective" and "realizational" theories of morphology. In addition, we will explore some further questions about how morphology is related to syntax: is it a separate, post-syntactic component of grammar, and is it generative or interpretive.

The course presupposes only a general acquaintance with the goals and findings of generative linguistics as might be acquired in any introductory course.
