The course aims to raise students' awareness of the particulars of syntactic derivations, to enable them to make hypotheses regarding the processes involved in such derivations and to motivate such processes by assuming certain well-formedness criteria for the resulting syntactic representations. The course is also meant to enable students to understand morphological processes and their interaction with both syntax and phonology, to perform morphological and morpho-syntactic analyses on linguistic data and recognize predictions of various morpho-syntactic theories.
