Introduction to generative syntax designed for graduate students.
Linguistic facts in English and other languages are closely
examined. Emphasis will be placed upon argumentation and logical
thinking rather  than memorization of the facts or rules. The
theoretical framework is the "Principles and Parameters" approach,
and the major areas of inquiry are: thematic interpretation, Case
marking, phrase structures, anaphoric relations, movements and empty
categories.

Course requirements: Regular attendance, regular homework and
examinations. Active participation in class discussion as well as
text book is expected.
