In this class we will study the theoretical constructs that have been suggested to account for grammatical breakdown in language production and comprehension, reading such classics as those by Pick, Tissot, Kolk, Kean, Menn and Obler, Grodzinsky, Friedmann. We will debate whether agrammatism is primarily a phonological, morphological, or syntactic problem.

While reading and hearing presentations on a number of dissertations on the topic, each student will design a research project in the form of a research proposal. On the day of the final exam, we will conduct a review-panel discussion of these proposals.

Class will meet from Jan. 21-April 24, with some sessions extended to make up for the two classes to be missed in early May.
