課程概述	This course is an introduction to the principles of functional syntax and to the basic concepts underlying theories of grammar. Basic concepts and methods of syntactic analysis and description and the foundation principles of several competing theories of grammar will also be introduced by description and practical analysis of a wide range of phenomena from different languages. We will thus look at the structure of phrases, clauses and sentences, and at the functional relationship between parts of phrases and clauses, such as subject and object.
課程目標	Topics covered: 1. Language as a human behavior: a complex adaptive usage-based system 2. Cognitive linguistics: Its origin and how it differs from formal, functional linguistics 3. Grammar and cognition 4. Word order and clause structure 5. Word classes and phrasal structure 6. Major clause types and multi-clausal constructions 7. Grammaticalization and the gradience of categories 8. Syntax/morphology interface: Grammatical relations (subject and object) 9. Syntax/semantic interface: Semantic relations (agent and patient) 10. Construction Grammar vs. Cognitive Grammar 11. Conceptual metaphor and conceptual blending 12. Prototype theory: Prototype in psychology and cultural anthropology 13. Toward typology and cognitive linguistics [Expected learning outcomes] 1. Demonstrate an understanding of grammatical diversity across languages. 2. Demonstrate practical skills in the analysis of language data. 3. Demonstrate an understanding of nature of grammatical relations and the ways languages encode 4. grammatical relations. 4. Demonstrate an understanding of the structural characteristics and formal representation of phrases and clauses. 5. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts in functional syntax and cognitive linguistics. 6. Demonstrate research and general information literacy skills.
