Inhalt:

This class takes a closer look at concepts from syntax that students should already be familiar with from the introductory course such as word class, phrases, clause elements. From there, we will dive into more complex structures such as subordinate clauses in their different forms (finite, non-finite, verbless) and functions (nominal, adverbial, relative). Syntactical strategies such as clefting (It's dark green that we've painted the kitchen.) or extraposition (It is a pleasure to teach Elizabeth.) will also be taken into account as a syntactical form of information processing.
