Linguistics 105 | Fall Quarter 2012
M/W/F 2:00pm - 3:10pm
Crown College Rm. 208
This class is an introduction to issues in natural language morphology and generative morphological theory. We will focus on a variety of languages and theoretical frameworks in this course, but most of it will be geared toward the interface of morphology with syntax (as opposed to, say, phonology). Some questions we will tackle include how we should understand the notion "word," what the possible interactions between morphology and argument structure are, and whether we can empirically justify complex internal structure for words in natural language.
