Course Description
Fundamental importance is assigned to speakers' introspective judgments of sentence acceptability in syntactic research. However, such judgments can be gravely compromised by instability of different kinds, which calls into question the empirical reliability of such data. This course presents objective and practical methods to collect and analyze acceptability judgments. Topics include experimental design, data visualization, statistical analysis, and the application of experimental methods to theoretical questions. This is a hands-on course, and students are expected to lead discussions on primary research.

What is the nature of mind and its relation to physical body? The mental realm is among the last great unknowns in the modern view of sentient beings and their place in the Universe and is a fertile field of philosophical inquiry. This course examines central conceptual issues surrounding the idea of mind and its relation to physical body. These include the distinction between the mental and the physical, the nature of consciousness, personal identity, disembodied existence, mental representation, and the attempt to tame the mental in purely physical terms.
