Advanced analysis and reflection on the theoretical and methodological aspects of syntactic investigation, starting from the correlation between semantic roles and phrasal structure to the interactions (“interfaces”) between syntax and the different levels of grammar (prosody and intonation, morphology, discourse grammar), also from a comparative perspective.

Programme
This course deals with theoretical and methodological aspect of syntactic analysis (for advanced students). It can be divided into two parts. In the first part the notion of “deep structure” is resumed and analysed in detail; then the correlation between deep and surface structure is discussed in order to proceed into the analysis of sentence structure. In this respect, special attention will be devoted to the analysis of Case assignment, binding relation, constituent movement and different types of embedded structure (raising, control structures, complements of perception predicates, etc.) In the second part the interface between syntax and discourse grammar is approached (“information structure”), with special attention to the syntactic realization of discourse categories such as Focus, Topic and Contrast; their properties will be discussed, also from a comparative perspective, with a special reference to the languages included in the 2 curricula of LMLC. Syntactic analysis will be dealt with within the Generative Grammar formal framework.Core Documentation

The course extends of the semester with 36 hours of class teaching, during which the different subjects are discussed and exercises corrected in order to understand and solve problems and doubts. Students are always called to participate actively during the class. Frequency is recommended. No specific program is planned for non-attending students, who are invited to contact the professor in charge.Type of evaluation
It is a written exam, including 20 open questions on the different subjects discussed during the classes and treated in the relevant textbooks. teacher profile teaching materials
