Top COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course investigates problems of Chinese historical syntax; grammatical structures of classical Chinese and other stages in the history of the language. Also covered are issues pertaining to language change (e.g., word-order change, grammaticalization), diachronic aspects of dialect grammar, and the interface of language with cultural and literary concerns (poetry, novels, drama, etc.).

Top COURSE OBJECTIVES & EXPECTED OUTCOMES
This course aims to provide students with opportunities to explore and examine, through assigned and student-selected readings, the grammatical structures of classical Chinese and later stages of the Chinese language.

Students should, at the end of the course, gain a deeper understanding of some issues in Chinese historical grammar, and be able to conduct advanced graduate research on some of the topics covered in the seminar.


Top COURSE CONTENT
This course consists of lectures and student-led discussions and presentations of assigned and student-selected readings. Course work includes each student presenting, and leading, the discussion of two readings (to be selected by the student in consultation with the instructor). Students will also submit a final project at the end of the quarter.

Top STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are expected to:
  1. Read the assigned readings prior to class.

  2. Attend class regularly and participate actively in class discussions and other class activities.
    . A mailing list for the class will also be used for dissemination of information and student-initiated discussions concerning topics brought up in class.

  3. Present two readings for class discussion. Outlines (in PowerPoint format) should form an integral part of the presentation. Other materials, such as e-corpora, to accompany the presentation may be prepared as needed.

  4. Submit a one-page proposal of the final project, together with select references, by Week 7.

  5. Present the final project orally in the final week of class.

  6. Submit a written version of the final project (about 12-15 double-spaced pages plus references), in hardcopy and digital format at the end of the quarter. Include textual data and/or multimedia materials as needed. Students are expected to create an e-portfolio containing their course work, to be submitted on CD-ROM at the end of the quarter.

DISABILITY SERVICES
Students with disabilities that have been certified by the Office for Disability Services will be appropriately accommodated, and should inform the instructor as soon as possible of their needs. The Office for Disability Services is located in 150 Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue (Tel: 292.3307. TDD: 292.0901)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT)
Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. Failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in OSU's Code of Student Conduct may constitute "Academic Misconduct." OSU's Code of Student Conduct (section 3335-23-04 Prohibited conduct) defines as academic misconduct "[a]ny activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the university, or subvert the educational process." Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, possession of unauthorized materials during an examination, and submission of the same work for credit in two (or more) courses. Ignorance of the University's Code of Student Conduct is never considered an "excuse" for academic misconduct; hence, be sure to review the sections dealing with academic misconduct in the Code of Student Conduct. Be sure also to read the University's Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity and/or the Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (from Northwestern U.). The University's policy on academic misconduct will be enforced in accordance with Faculty Rule 3335-5-54, and all alleged cases of academic misconduct will be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs' Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) for resolution. Students with questions concerning the above policy or questions concerning academic misconduct are encouraged to ask the instructor any time during the quarter.
