Morphological Theory
Spring 1996; Kersti Borjars, Nigel Vincent
The aim of this course is to familiarize the student with some major issues
in morphology and how different theories may deal with these issues.
This was a cool class, despite having to work in groups.
Selected Topics from the Syllabus

Papers and Projects
Clitics and affixes. Actually, it's a critique
of an article about a certain Lithuanian affix which draws on another
article about clitics and affixes. I was forced to work with two other
people, so the style at the beginning of the paper may seem different than
the style at the end, because we all wrote it in our own little chunks,
rather than collaborating on the entire thing.
