Here’s the next video, it’s another hour-ish-long one: Video 9, the 8th video. And the handout.

At the end of the video I speculate about how I might put up an additional video or something, to show some worked-out examples, since the video is mainly running through the theory and the ideas, without a lot of individual examples provided. I still may do that, though I think it will be a couple of days before it arrives. Check back here, maybe Monday evening.

And, here is Video 8, the 7th video, as well as the handout that goes along with it. Shortest one yet, this actually came in just under a half hour, surprisingly. You can watch it twice if you wish.

And this is Video 7, the 6th video: Video 7, and the accompanying handout. This one’s only about 45 minutes long, so shorter than the previous two were. Hooray!

Oops. I accidentally cut the handout for Video 6 off at the first 6 slides, rather than the 6 pages it was supposed to be. The real handout is here: Real handout 6, and I’ll go back and update the link on the previous post to point to this as well (so if you were slow to grab the handout, you won’t have noticed).

Here is Video 6 and the Handout that goes along with it. All about c-command and binding and NPIs.

(Note: This was originally posted with a truncated handout that was only 1 page instead of 6 pages long, but that’s now been fixed.)

Video 5 is finally available. It is here: Video 5. And the accompanying handout is here: Handout 5. This one is longer than the prior ones, it clocked in at 1:08. I will try to keep future ones below the 1 hour mark where possible.

In it, there are a couple of things to do in preparation for class. One of them is to work out how to assemble “Chris glanced at Pat.” Not for turning in, but for discussing. The other is at the end, thinking about complements and adjuncts and why the last sentence on the handout is ungrammatical.

And here is the third video, which starts with the number “4” prominently displayed, wherein you will hear about the various constituency tests: video number 4. Also, the handout version: handout number 4.

At some point I may try to solve this “off-by-one” problem my video/handout numbering system has, but in any event, this is the next one.

Took longer to put this together than I’d hoped. But I think I’m getting the hang of it. There’s a little bit of audio clipping, which I’ll try to reduce from video 6 on.

So, here is the YouTube link to the third lecture, and the
handout that goes along with it in PDF form if you want it.
