Description
In this seminar we examine a phenomenon within the syntax-semantics interface. During the first part of the course, we read and discuss the most important articles related to the chosen phenomenon so that students can get acquainted with the issues and analyses of the phenomenon, as well as how theorists approach such linguistic phenomena. In the second part of the course, students choose subparts of the phenomenon to study, either in their own language or in a different language. They report their findings in class and subsequently write up their findings in an academic article.
