The main goal of this seminar is to explore current refined proposals in the syntax of the English clause and put them to the test when it comes to the structure of colloquial and sometimes disputed structures of the language.
Main textbook for the class (further references will be provided during the first session):
Radford, A. (2018). Colloquial English: Structure and Variation (Vol. 158). Cambridge Studies in Linguistics. Cambridge University Press. |
