Typical areas include formal morphology (con-catenative and non-concatenative), Lexical Phonology and lexical phonology, syntax-phonology interactions, and the connections between phonology and phonetic implementation. Prerequisites: LINGUIST 603, 606.

Comprehensive survey of semantic problems in transformational-generative linguistics.

Introduction to generative phonology primarily for graduate students in linguistics. Formalism developed and justified in response to increasingly complex sets of data.
