Course Content (Syllabus)
This course is an introduction to the level of syntactic analysis of the language with emphasis on the syntactic analysis of Greek and Italian in multilingual students. It discusses the way in which the phrases and sentences of a natural language are structured and analyzed and the methodology for the analysis of basic syntactic phenomena.
The basic "tool" of description is the Theory of Principles and Parameters within the model of genetic theory, as well as its contemporary developments.
The course is recommended for undergraduate students of the department from the third semester onwards, provided that during the first year of their studies they have successfully completed at least one introductory course in linguistics.
Topics covered are: grammar of phrasal structure, syntax of X (stressed), transformational rules, grammar tests, parameters that affect the order of the terms of the sentence, the theory of government and referential commitment and hypotheses from which it consists of.
