This course introduces the student to research in linguistic morphology. The course begins with an introduction to theoretical approaches to morphology, descriptive strategies and methods, and wider context (e.g. morphology in the mind, morphology in language use). Following this introductory section (roughly first half of the course) the instructor, in collaboration with the participants, decides on specific projects in morphology that each student participant will carry out (possibly in groups), and the instructor will supervise the various projects. These projects will take the form of either description of some morphological aspect of a particular language, or evaluation of the viability of a particular theoretical approach to a set of data. Participants will present analyses and preliminary results to each other and develop their research skills through discussions and revisions of their projects. Results will be made available in the form of written assignment.
