(CourseWebpage)*課程簡介（中文）（Description）本課程介紹用于分析語言中短語和句子結構的必要工具，同時以一種易懂且引人入勝的方式提供最新的語言學理論。該課程以講座和課堂討論的形式進行，并以90分鐘的考試形式進行考評。每堂課后設置若干練習，使學生能夠將概念和理論應用到實踐中。本課程主要針對首次接觸語言學理論的學生。它引導學生分析并解釋各種語言難題，語言現象和新穎思想。該課程以清晰，連貫的敘述方式介紹當代語言學理論的見解，并讓學生以自下而上（語料驅動）和自上而下（理論驅動）的方式發現語言學理論的美妙。該課程以稱為最簡方案的形式語言學方法為基礎，并遵循NoamChomsky設計的生成語言學范式。在幫助學生深入了解形式語言學的推理和語言特征核查機制并理解語言學作為當今一門科學的同時，本課程將在不過于簡化的前提下，刻意避免任何不必要的技術細節。主要教材:Koeneman,O.andZeijlstra,H.(2017).IntroducingSyntax.CambridgeUniversityPress.*課程簡介（英文）（Description）Thiscourseintroducesthenecessarytoolsfortheanalysesofphrasesandsentenceswhileatthesametimeofferingstate-of-the--artlinguistictheoryinanaccessibleandengagingway.Thecourseisofferedintheformoflecturesandclassroomdiscussions,andisassessedintheformof90-minuteexaminations.Numerousexercisesandreadingsaresetaftereachlecturetoenablestudentstoapplyconceptsandtheoryintopractice.Thecourseisprimarilyintendedforstudentsforwhomthisisafirstencounterwithlinguistictheory.Itguidesstudentsthroughavarietyoflinguisticpuzzles,languagephenomenaandnovelideas.Thecoursepresentscontemporaryinsightsintolinguistictheoryinaclearandcoherentnarrative,andletsstudentsdiscoverthebeautyoflinguistictheoryinbothabottom-up(data-driven)andatop-down（theory-driven）fashion.ThecourseisbasedontheformallinguisticapproachknownasMinimalismandfollowsthegenerativeparadigmasdevisedbyNoamChomsky.Whilehelpingstudentstogetinsightsintothereasoningandfeature-checkingmechanismsofformallinguisticsandunderstandlinguisticresearchasapresent-dayscience,thecoursewilldeliberatelyavoidanyunnecessarydetailsandtechnicalitieswithoutoversimplifying.Themaincoursebookis:Koeneman,O.andZeijlstra,H.(2017).IntroducingSyntax.CambridgeUniversityPress.課程目標與內容（Courseobjectivesandcontents）*課程目標(CourseObject)Specificaimsofthecourseare: Tounderstandnotonlytherulesofthelanguagesystembutalsothenatureoftheserules;TounderstandwhatunderliestherulesofEnglish(andChinese);Tounderstandwhytherulesinalanguageworkinthewaytheydo,andwhytheydonotworktheotherwayround;Notjusttodescribetherules,butmoreimportantlytoexplainwhytherulesbehaveinthewaytheydo,i.e.notjustdescriptive(what?),butexplanatory(whyandhowcome?);Tounderstandgeneralprinciplesunderlyingmanyrules;Totreatlinguisticsasacognitivescience,thescienceofhumanmind;*教學內容進度安排及對應課程目標(ClassSchedule&Requirements&CourseObjectives)Teachingweek教學內容（要點）學時教學形式作業及考核要求課程思政融入點對應課程目標Week1Introduction,WordsandCategories2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week2Features,matchingandmismatching2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week3Constituentsandmerging2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week4Headdirections2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week5Thetatheory2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week6Casetheory2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week7Functionalprojections2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week8Agreement2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week9BindingandC-command2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week10Movementandremerge2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week11VP-internalsubject2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week12Behavioursofwh-words2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week13Doubleobjectconstructionsandexceptionalcasemarking2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems1,2,3,4,5Week14Howarefirst-languagesacquired?2Lecture+discussionsExercisestobesubmittedbyadesignatedtime.Tocultivatestudents’abilityinanalyzingandsolvinglinguisticproblems6Week15Howaresecondlanguagesacqu
