Travels in Syntax
A few weeks ago I gave a series of six 90 minutes lectures at KIAS in Seoul, on the mathematics of Generative Linguistics, for an audience of mathematicians. That was my first visit to Korea. The slides of the lectures are available here: Lecture 1 , Lectures 2 and 3 , Lecture 4 , Lecture 5 , Lecture 6 . The structure of the lectures is roughly the same as my recent graduate course at Caltech (about which I'll give more information in a separate post). One significant difference is that I wanted to make most of the examples in my lectures about Korean, since that was going to be the first language of most of my audience. Well, Korean is not, unfortunately, one of the language that I can to some extend handle, but one week before the trip, while I was trying to plan all the slides for the lectures, I came across this really nice book: EunHee Lee, "Korean Syntax and Semantics", Cambridge University Press, 2019. I highly recommend this book to all people interested in
