There are a couple of things I said I’d post from previous incarnations of the Syntax I course, which I now do here, to look over if you wish:

First are summaries of how things are supposed to work in the syntactic system we’d developed. The first one was given out before the midterm (and I can’t find the one from last semester, so this is the one from the year before), and the second one was given out before the final. The second one extends/revises some parts of the first one based on what we’d looked at between the midterm and the final. Because the class got a little bit further in Fall 2010, I’m linking to that one here instead.

• Summary notes I (Fall 2010)
• Summary notes II (Fall 2010)

There is also a full, painfully step-by-step derivation of a couple of sentences, and the resulting tree for one of them (“Carmela said AJ’s advisor was told that AJ might want to study event-planning.”).

Keep in mind that it’s not vital to be able to do all of this on your own at this point, since we’ll be exploring things within a few different background assumptions, not just the one pursued in the Syntax I course, but I’m hoping this is a somewhat less painful way to remind yourself of it if you’ve seen it before or get an idea of how it compares to what you have seen if not.

Since there wasn’t really any new reading to do for next week, you could consider this as something like a reading or skimming assignment, I suppose.
