Syllabus

• - morphological component (syntax - Spell Out - PF) - concept of a morpheme: Sausserian vs. roots and functional morphemes - late insertion into terminal nodes of syntactic structure: separation of form and meaning - items stored in the morphological component (Vocabulary Items): their phonological form and their (under)specification for contexts - competition of vocabulary items, allomorphy: the Subset Principle and a hierarchy of grammatical features - homonymy vs. syncretism of forms - rules operating in the morphological component: impoverishment rules and fission
