  • ALin 321: Introduction to Syntax

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY at Albany

    The human ability to produce and understand an infinite number of different sentences is one of the most remarkable capabilities we have. The study of the structure of sentences is called syntax, and this course is an introduction to syntactic theory. The particular approach we will be pursuing is called generative grammar, the approach to syntax pioneered by linguists such as Noam Chomsky. Chomsky argues that all humans are born with an unconscious knowledge of Universal Grammar, the basis on which the grammars of all languages are built. Through a detailed examination of English sentence structure, we will investigate the connections between English syntax and Universal Grammar. Only one of A Lin 321 & A Ant 321 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Lin 220 or permission of instructor.

  • ALin 421Z: Advanced Syntax

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY at Albany

    This course continues the investigation of the relationship between the grammars of particular languages and Universal Grammar. We will examine the syntax of several languages from around the world asking ourselves the following questions: a.) How do the principles that organize the grammars of other languages around the world compare to English? b.) What grammatical properties are true for all languages? We will discuss the answers to these questions in the light of generative grammar. Only one of A Lin 421Z & A Ant 421Z may be taken for credit. The former A Lin 421 & A Ant 421 do not yield writing intensive credit. Prerequisite(s): A Lin 321 with grade of C or higher.
