Structure of Romance Languages

Ling 181: Structure of Romance Languages

This is a class in comparative grammar, which has a dual purpose. We first seek to systematically survey major phonological, morphological, and syntactic properties of several Romance languages. By doing so, we will also develop an appreciation of the goals and methods of constructing grammatical explanations. Students entering the course should have one Romance language other than English whose structure they intend to explore. The course will satisfy the 'Structure of' requirement for language studies students, who will focus on their major language.

Prerequisite(s): Ling 101 (Phonology One), and either Ling 52 (Syntax One), or Ling 55 (Syntactic Structures). Some knowledge of either Italian, French, or Spanish is also required.
