Description: This is
a seminar on language universals and linguistic typology. The aim of
this course is to provide an introduction to the typological study of
language, in particular contrasting alternative approaches to
language universals research, including current work on the
cross-linguistic data on syntactic topics. We will look at various
structures, such as relative clauses in different “types”
of languages, including English.
