LING H113  INTRODUCTION TO SYNTAX  (1.0 Credit)

Amanda Payne

Division: Humanities; Symbolic Reasoning
Domain(s): B: Analysis of the Social World

This course is a hands-on investigation of sentence structures in human language. This is a participation intensive course. Collectively, the class will develop an increasingly complex syntactic theory starting with basic assumptions and seeing where they lead. In the process, students will develop skills in observing syntactic patterns and analyzing these patterns in order to come to some generalizations on their own.
