Clause structure and movement (Mondatszerkezet és mozgatás) in spring 2004
Surányi Balázs, Mon 14:30–16:00, ADS 209, host: DELG (R301)
description & set texts
This seminar presupposes concepts introduced in Syntax I. courses (ANN-243/244), especially the X-bar schema in the analysis of structure. We will start by reviewing some principles of basic structure, discussing symmetries and asymmetries between phrase and clause in general. In the main we will be discussing movement phenomena in the clausal domain in English, providing a typology of movement in the context of syntactic constraints. We will also occasionally compare and contrast what we have found to analogous constructions in Hungarian.

requirements & assessment
Passing two (out of three) in-class tests, an acceptable short home essay and regular homework.

Grading will be based on two out of three in-class tests, a short home essay and the quantity and quality of homework assignments.
