Introduction to generative syntax designed for graduate students.
After discussing the goals of theoretical linguistics and
introducing a particular model of grammar, we will examine
linguistic facts in English and other languages and their
explanation offered in the literature.  Emphasis will be placed upon
argumentation and logical thinking rather than memorization of the
facts or "rules".  The major areas of inquiry are: thematic
interpretation, Case marking, phrase structures, anaphoric
relations, movement and empty categories.

Course requirements:  Regular attendance, assigned readings, regular
homework and two examinations.
