Constraint-based Grammatical Analysis |
| Leerdoelen |
|
| Omschrijving |
This course is aimed at students who are interested in cognitively modelling human sentence processing, or who wish to explore language structure in more depth. During the course, students will study the relationship between theories of grammar and models of human syntactic processing, and will use data from a range of languages to gain skills in analysing languages structure in ways that can support cognitive models of processing.
The course uses Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), an established computationally robust constraint-based linguistic theory. After gaining competence with the core analytical tools of LFG, students will work in more detail on more complex phenomena (unbounded dependencies, control, anaphoric binding) that are often the subject of psycholinguistic experiments. Students can also carry out introductory study of LFG treatments of prosody, semantics, and information structure. |

| Opmerkingen |
Artificial Intelligence (BSc) is a Fixed Quota (Numerus Fixus) programme. As a consequence, their courses (course code WBAI) are closed for students that are not registered under the AI BSc programme, unless the course is part of the mandatory curriculum of their programme. If you wish to take this course in your minor – or as part of a so-called ‘unofficial’ pre-master’s – please use the official procedure through the Board of Examiners form. |
