Course objectives
An “obligatory part” of modern language theories is the axiom that two of its modules are vocabulary/lexicon and grammar/syntax and that those two modules must be compatible. Language theories then, to put it in a simplified way, differ in how much and what kind of information (necessary for building the syntactic structure of grammatically correct phrases of various complexity) is put into the lexicon and how much into the syntax, respectively. The lecture will from this viewpoint analyze influential approaches rooted in European structuralism (Kuryłowicz, Mathesius, Skalička vs. Dokulil) and in formal grammars, especially Chomsky’s Theory of principles and parameters and Pollard-Sago’s HPSG.
Syllabus
  • Analysis of language architecture in Standard Theory, in Government and Binding Theory and in Minimalist Program. Analysis of organization of lexicon in those models Analysis of lexical and functional categories Analysis of grammaticalization Analysis of models without modularity (functional structuralism)
