COGSCIL 731 / Language Analysis Methods: Syntax and Semantics

3 unit(s)

This course is a fundamental course whose aim is to ensure that students are familiar with current approaches and issues in the areas of syntax and semantics. Students will work through complex cross-linguistic data from a variety of approaches in order to evaluate the effectiveness of particular theoretical models in handling syntactic phenomena and in how meaning is derived at the word, sentence or discourse level.
