Course objectives

The course follows the lecture Grammar and vocabulary of Czech, Pt. 1 (Gramatika a lexikon češtiny I), in which students will get acquainted with modular approaches towards language. This course will focus on interfaces among the particular modules. At the end of the course, students will be able to explain differences among theoretical approaches with which they will get acquainted in seminars, providing Czech examples.

Syllabus

• 1. Lexicon-syntax interface: grammatical features in the lexicon vs. grammatical features in the syntax, representation of grammatical and lexical morphemes (Distributed Morphology) 2. Syntax-phonology interface: (non-)visibility of syntactic structure in phonology, representation of morphophonological alternations (Lexical Phonology, Distributed Morphology, Stratal OT) 3. Syntax-semantic interface: semantic interpretation of syntactic structure (Nanosyntax)
