Inhalt:

This module deals with different approaches towards describing com-plementation phenomena in English. Particular emphasis will be put on the approach of valency theory and its application to English:

• What are the formal categories to be identified as complements in English?

• the status of semantic roles

• lexicographic description of valency phenomena

• How can a valency description be combined with the argument structure constructions proposed in construction grammar?

The seminar involves practical analysis of English texts in a valency framework.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

• become familiar with key texts in syntactic theory and to be able to read complex theoretical literature

• understand theoretical problems in the design of linguistic models

• gain insights as to the problems that arise in the grammatical de-scription and modelling of actual language use
