BITO 117

PART

1 credit The Alexander Technique provides a way of teaching us how to re-connect with our own innate energies. For musicians this means discovering a way of performing with greater muscular ease, less accumulated fatigue and a less restrictive approach to technique. This course introduces both F. M. Alexander's principles and a new set of physical experiences suited to the musician's specific needs. The aim of the class will be learning how to apply the Technique to practice and performance situations. Students will have the opportunity to work with their instruments in class.

SSCI

4 credits Formal syntax, the mental computation connecting thought and language, has been the object of intensive empirical and theoretical inquiry within linguistics for more than half a century. In its mature form, syntax has made it possible to formulate coherent questions and suggest plausible answers with respect to traditional problems such as the origins of the language faculty, the relationship between words and concepts and the apparent miracle of language acquisition. This will be an elementary course focusing on basic concepts in syntax which form the foundation for intermediate and advanced work in the field. Topics covered include parts of speech, phrase structure rules, c-command, theta roles, X-bar theory, government, head and DP movement, case marking, wh- islands constraints, parameters, concluding with a brief introduction to current work within the minimalist program. There are no prerequisites for the class, however, a basic comfort level with abstract theoretical explanation and/or formal systems (i.e. as encountered in formal logic, programming languages, mathematics, physics, etc.) will be helpful. All students welcome.
