END OF SEMESTER [APR 3]
Since we spent more time on presuppositions than expected, I made some last adjustments to the ... schedule! You find the final version here.
MAKE-UP CLASS [MAR 21]
The long make-up class will be in room A 008 on Wednesday, March 22 from 10.00am-1.00pm (yes, with breaks!).
SYLLABUS III [MAR 20]
Two minor changes in the course syllabus: (i) the topics (and corresponding readings) of this week's Wednesday make-up class and Friday's regular class have been swapped, and (ii) the deadline for EXX-2 has been extended to Tuesday, May 2 before 10am. I will take all exercises in my mailbox home at 10am that day and will downgrade late exercises by a full grade point for every day late (and 10.01AM will count as one day late!).
SYLLABUS II [MAR 11]
There have been two more (= final?) changes in the course syllabus. The class on April 4 will not be canceled, but take place. The final and regular class in May, Class 25, will be a review class and as such totally voluntary (or even superfluous?). We'll talk about this in class.
EXAM [FEB 23]
The final exam will be in room A 008 on Saturday, May 13 from 9.00am-12.00pm.
MATERIAL [FEB 14]
If you want to know a bit more about David Dowty's proto-roles but don't want to read the entire paper, here's a short summary with some further discussion by my colleague Asya Pereltsvaig.
SYLLABUS [FEB 11]
There have been some major changes in the course syllabus. The most obvious and for you relevant ones are: (i) no classes March 7 and 10 (I will be in Brussels accompanying UCY students to visit the European Parliament) , (ii) different due dates for exercises (for example, EXX-1 will require you to sepnd a week working on new material which we'll summarize when I'm back), (iii) no scheduled review class (but I'd be happy to put one in anytime after our last class, which we will now definitely have, on May 5).
BOOKS [JAN 26]
At last, the textbook has arrived at Moufflon, so please pick it up soon.
CLASSES [JAN 22]
I will be absent for three classes (conference participation abroad), which will be made up through a double-session on Wednesday, March 22 (with a short break). The postponed classes are: January 31 (Tuesday), March 3 (Friday), April 7 (Friday). The final class (after the Easter break) will be a revision session to prepare you for the final exam.
