Course contents :
|
| This course introduces the main syntactic analysis models: phrase-structure (X-bar) and dependency frameworks (Lucien Tesnière, Meaning-Text Theory).
The epistemological foundations of each model are explained, as well as the way they combine with phonology and morphology. Then, using traditional grammatical analysis as a reference, the different uses of each model to analyse real structures are compared. French is the main investigated language, but comparisons with other languages occur frequently.
Theoretical concepts are illustrated with numerous examples and exercises. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :

| By the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- use and explain the concepts covered in class;
- undertake an analysis in line with the different models covered in class;
