Quantitative Research in Syntax (37-892)
Course description⌗
This seminar deals with work in theoretical syntax which is based not only on the methodology of using informal grammaticality judgments but also on quantitative research methods, and in particular experimental syntax and corpus studies. Through discussions of specific studies we also deal with deeper theoretical questions regarding the nature of abstract syntactic representations and the extent to which different syntactic models are suitable representations of the full range of observed facts.
This seminar was taught during the academic year 2021-22 as a hybrid (half synchronous, half asynchronous) course.
