Course Description
This course is a basic introduction to syntactic analysis and
argumentation. The emphasis is on syntactic structures and phrase
structure rules. The goal is to let students be familiar with the core facts
of English syntax as well as with terms and concepts central to
transformational grammar. It covers word classes in terms of form and
function, grammatical categories, syntactic categories, simple and
complex sentences, head words and their dependents (complements and
adjuncts), constituent structure (trees, constituency tests), relationships
within sentences such as word order, syntactic processes that change
grammatical relations such as passives, and syntactic processes that don't
change grammatical relations such as relative clauses.
