I teach both graduate and
undergraduate courses in syntax and semantics. At the undergraduate
level, I often teach
LING
3430, an undergraduate introduction to semantics that is required
for the major, and a popular multi-section cross-listed course that I
helped to create,
LING/CLAS
1010 (The Study of Words), an introduction to the development and
structure of
the English vocabulary that focuses on words of Latin and Greek origin.
At the graduate level, I teach an MA-level introduction to semantics
and pragmatics (
LING
5430) that is required for the MA degree in Linguistics, a
doctoral-level required introduction to syntactic analysis (
LING
6450)
and doctoral-level courses in syntax and semantics (LING 7420, 7430 and
7800), all of which focus on
construction-based approaches. My current course websites require
CULearn access, but
the list below provides a sample of my older, public sites. In addition
to classrooom teaching, I advise doctoral students, and have graduated
6 PhD students since 1999. Among my former advisees (and co-authors)
are
Phyllis
Bellver, an associate professor of Spanish at Centre
College, and
Hartwell Francis,
director of the Cherokee Studies Program at Western Carolina
University.
