4 semester hours Undergraduate Lecture NUpath FQ typical days: M/W/Th Boston Traditional
Presents the basic tools for analyzing how sentences work. Whenever we produce or understand a sentence, we are following unconscious rules of grammar, our internalized “architecture” of English. Offers students an opportunity to learn a new method for discovering and describing sentence structure, as well as a useful set of tools for analyzing language in all of its representations.
