    Morphology and Syntax

    Aims
    The course will:
    • help students familiarize with the structure of a word and then a sentence in a
    language, specifically focusing on Pakistani languages and then any language in
    the world, e.g. English.
    • provide them with sufficient grounding in syntax to enable them to cope better
    with other courses (e.g. in Acquisition, Disorders or Psycholinguistics) which
    presuppose some background in syntax.
    • help them understand and appreciate the relation between linguistic theory and
    data.
