MEMORANDUM

From,. Sheila Roberts, Secretary 

Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee 

Date. February25..... 

The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee at its meeting of 

February 24, 

1977

approved the attached New Course and 

changes to the curriculum of the Linguistics Division. 

You will notice that Linguistics 221 has been •changed 

slightly, and Linguistics 222 added. 

?

The changes in Ling. 

221 are minor and it was thought to be unnecessary to change 

the course number. 

?

Ling. 221 is not a pre-requisite for 

Ling. 222; the courses could be taken concurrently. 

?

The? 

department understands that these changes will not be 

included in the 

1977-78 

Calendar but wishes to offer Ling. 

222 in Fall 

1977. 

They also understand that they cannot 

officially require major and minor students to take Ling. 

222 until the entry is included in the 

1978-79

Calendar, 

but that they can strongly recommend that students so do. 

Would you please put this submission on the agenda of the 

next SCUS meeting. 

Thank you.

LING 222-3 INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTIC TECHNIQUES II (Syntax) 

The principles governing the surface level phrase structures 

of language and the methodology of their determination and 

analysis. 

(Lecture) 

Prerequisite: Ling. 220 strongly recommended 

RATIONALE: 

.

This new course Is Intended to fill the gap which currently 

exists between LING 221 and the Upper Level Linguistics Courses. 

It will cover that level of syntactic analysis which relates 

to the surface structure of sentences (as opposed to the 

deeper levels which form the topic of Transformational 

Grammar). A methodology will be presented for the determination 

of the 

phrase 

structure of English sentences and the coverage 

will be as full as constraints of time and the state of the 

art permit. Examples will also be discussed from French, 

German, Russian and Spanish and one non-Indo-European 

language. 

The course will prepare students more adequately than has 

hitherto been possible for LING 1105 Transformational Syntax 

and other Upper Level courses. Transformational Syntax as 

well as other syntactic theories have a phrase structure 

component, whence the need for a course in syntax which does 

riot have a transformationalist bias. Past students of LIMO 405 

have frequently expressed an interest in. an intermediate 

course devoted to phrase structures so that LING 

1

105 might be 

devoted completely to its intended topic; at the present an 

excessive amount of time is devoted to explaining and defending 

phrase structures.

After 

brief

classical phonemic theory and shown how to group sounds into phonemes on
