Summary notes and video delay

I recorded the video yesterday and when I went to edit it, I discovered that there are insurmountable audio problems that means that I’ll need to record it again. So, it won’t be ready today, I expect that it will be ready Saturday evening.

However: I prepared a good substitute if you are pining for some syntax work to do. Here is a 28-page document that serves as a kind of “mini-textbook” summarizing pretty much everything so far, in a fairly concise way. It covers some material that we haven’t gotten to yet, particularly at the end. We’re about to start talking about the CP and the last couple of sections have discussions of what we’re going to be talking about, but it’s not really supposed to be a secret, so I’ve left that in. We may do a little bit more than what is covered in these notes by the time the semester actually ends, but this should I think be a pretty good reference. I added a couple of sections just now, including a table of heads and features they commonly have, and some information about possessors, adverbs, and adjectives, so I think this is relatively comprehensive.

I may augment this later with a few additional sections for what we cover at the end of the semester, but this pretty well covers what we’ve done from the beginning up to about 2-3 weeks from now.
