This Seminar is advanced. Basic background in syntax and semantics is required.
This course will examine 3 puzzles in syntax and semantics.
Each puzzle and its possible solutions will be presented over a week of classes by a different faculty member, with alternatives discussed by the class.
Course work will involve students identifying their own syntax or semantics puzzle to work on.
