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,
Hartwell Francis,
director of the Cherokee Studies Program at Western Carolina
University and
Jessica Sams, an assistant professor of English at Stephen F. Austin State University.
