這是一個研究報告。最多為十五頁長度，兩倍行高，字型大小為12。這份報告將會詳述至少一個我們在課堂上與／或閱讀文章中討論的主題。可以是任何由正面或負面引起你想像力，與課堂有關的專題。它也可包含你自己經驗上或理論上的觀察、以及你自己對於課堂上所討論文章的評論思維。理想上，你的學期專題將會檢視特定關於克理奧爾語言的實驗上和理論上的問題，和相關身分認同的議題。你的報告將根據你的研究，或者可能的話，根據一些個人語言學上與／或社會文化上的經驗，對這個領域提出一些新的理解。既然這是一門語言學的課，你報告的基本內容將會嚴格的探討關於構詞法和語法的語言學問題。請早點讓我知道你關於自己報告的想法。
This is a research paper. Maximum length: 15 pages, with double-space interline and 12pt font size. This paper will expand on one or more of the topics that will be discussed in class and/or in the readings. This project can be on any class-related topic(s) that capture(s) your imagination - either positively or negatively! It may include your own empirical and theoretical observations and your own critical thoughts about papers we will discuss in class. Ideally your term project will examine specific empirical and theoretical questions regarding some Creole language(s) and, if relevant, issues of identity. Your paper will contribute to the field via some novel insights to be based on your research and, if possible, on some personal linguistic and/or socio-cultural experience. Since this is a linguistics class, a substantial component of your project will be devoted to strictly linguistic issues having to do with morphology and syntax. Please let me know as soon as you start having some ideas on what you may be do your project on.

額外作業
Additional Assignments

更多確切的課堂要求（像是多少作業和課堂報告）將會依據修課人數和學生的興趣。學生將會經由電子郵件繳交不定期的作業，包含對閱讀文章的評論，和一些克理奧爾語言資料的實際分析。
More exact requirements (e.g. how many homework assignments and presentations) will depend on class size and on students' interests. Students will submit occasional works via e-mail, including critiques of readings and some hands-on analyses of Creole data.
