How to build a language
Ian Roberts
University of Cambridge

This tutorial introduces comparative syntax first by looking at the diversity
of the world’s languages, then by giving arguments for a Universal Grammar,
then by showing diversity and universality can be reconciled in terms of the
idea that there is a primitive set of universal “building blocks” for
languages, but that these building blocks can be combined in different ways so
as to give rise to the attested diversity. Several examples of the building
blocks, applied to a range of the world’s languages, will be given.
