This course addresses characteristic properties of different grammar models and covers fundamental concepts in syntactic analysis such as syntactic categories, syntactic functions, constituent structure, dependency structure, the syntax-semantics interface, and phenomena such as agreement, valence, diathetic alternations, coordination, anaphoric binding, word order and long-distance dependencies. The emphasis is on syntactic frameworks that allow for formally precise encoding of linguistic hypotheses and the design of grammars that can scale up to ever larger fragments of a language as is required in practical applications. Problem sets introduce data and phenomena from a variety of languages. Major thematic blocks include: Generative Grammar (GG) and the Chomskyan tradition Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) Dependency Grammar (DG) Zur Homepage des Kurses Literatur     Introductory reading on Chomskyan tradition Carnie, Andrew (2001).
