Descripción del Curso

The course is an introduction to Chomsky’s theory of Universal Grammar (UG).  It aims at giving an integrated account of Chomsky’s ideas about language based chiefly on the current version of his Government/Binding (GB) theory. A brief outline of the subtheories of GB and their relationship is presented focusing on topics such as the x-bar theory of syntax and syntactic movement. Students are presented with the fundamental concept of UG as a property of the human mind consisting of universal principles of language and parameters that vary within limits across languages.
