The basic objectives of this course are (a) to familiarize students with the basic goals and tenets of Generative Grammar, a theory which seeks to characterize the system of knowledge underlying speakers’ ability to produce and parse sentences when they use language, (b) to train students in the rudiments of syntactic analysis and syntactic theorizing and argumentation, and (c) to familiarize students with the major syntactic structures of Modern Greek (including e.g. word order and pro-drop, sentence/clause types and aspects of the nominal structure) and their relevance to linguistic theory.
