Identify, describe, and attempt to explain one instance of variation in a
syntactic construction in your language/speech community.Discuss the
challenge it poses to either existing analyses of the linguistic construction
or to general theoretical formulations. Outline an analysis that would 
reconcile these challenges. Be sure to:
* Describe the exact type of the variation -- does it relate to LF or PF or
to the transformational engine?
* Identify the source of the variation -- dialectal/idiolectal/social or is
it based on register/discourse context/pragmatic, etc.?

We will evaluate entries for originality and novelty, so you are advised not
to replicate standard analyses of textbook examples of parametric variation.
Entries must not be more than 2 A4 pages long, and typeset in a font no less
than 11 pt in size.Entries must be submitted by March 5th at 5 pm. Include a
brief bio-data, along with a brief resume that lists the courses in syntax and 
semantics you have taken, plus a brief write-up of your research and/or reading 
activities in the last year. A recommendation from your supervisor or your MA 
syntax teacher must be attached with your email.
