授業の目標・概要

The goal of this course is to explore in detail a number of topics in English grammar, focussing on syntax and semantics.  Apart from basic constructions (basic clause structure, internal structure of verb phrases, and noun phrases, relative clauses), we will look at some less studied constructions, including idioms, the grammar of non-restrictive modifiers, `degree words' (too, so, enough, etc.), puzzling agreement phenomena, restrictions on adjective phrases (cf. 'a man fond of person' vs *'a fond of children person'), noun phrases which appear to be headed by an adjective ('the poor'), and other apparently `headless' constructions.
