This course
is an introduction to sentence structure. It looks into the largely unconscious
rules that determine how speakers of a language combine words into larger units
such as phrases and sentences, and how they structurally represent what they
hear or read. Examples will be drawn mainly for English but we will also use
data from other languages as well as developmental (first and second language
acquisition data).
