About the course
This course examines morphology and syntax in English texts from two time periods. While inflexions played an important role in Old English grammar, present-day English relies primarily on structures where word order and function words are of central importance. You will thus investigate morphological and syntactic aspects of Old and present-day English texts. Through independent research projects, you will also learn how to apply methods of morphosyntactic analysis to authentic texts to describe the structure of English.
