The Idea<br />
… of this course is <strong>to</strong> learn more about our language faculty,<br />
in particular about syntax, i.e. about how sentences are<br />
structured.<br />
To try and make this a seminar that actually features some<br />
discussions about the <strong>to</strong>pics we want <strong>to</strong> deal with, the<br />
sessions will usually fall in<strong>to</strong> two parts:<br />
1. I will introduce the basic syntactic concepts <strong>to</strong> you – based<br />
on the textbook “<strong>Syntax</strong>. A generative introduction”, 2nd<br />
edition 2007 from Andrew Carnie.<br />
2. One group of students will give us a 30min presentation<br />
about a <strong>to</strong>pic that is only briefly <strong>to</strong>uched or not mentioned in<br />
the textbook, and we will discuss this <strong>to</strong>pic in class.<br />
