This course is concerned with the concepts and principles which have been of central significance in the recent development of syntactic theory, with special focus on the "Government and Binding" (GB)/ "Principles and Parameters" (P&P) approach. We will examine how languages may differ in the way words are organized into phrases and sentences and how they are the same. We will also discuss the differences between GB and the Minimalist Program and the motivations for the shift from GB to the Minimalist Program.
