Oh! I have a course like that next semester! It's all based on gender-specification and how it came to be and if it will ever be set aside (Italian nouns, pronouns and adjectives are all gender-specific. Most people have problems learning English because of the gender-neutral aspect of the language). I'm hoping the professor will be good, because often the premise is amazing, but when you finally sit in class for the lecture, it turns out to be a nightmare of bore and clichés.
Logical analysis is pretty easy and fun to do :) Well, actually, logical clause analysis is fun. Plain old logical analysis is a pain (that's the one where you have to divide a sentence in phrases and then recognise every phrase for their syntactic properties; as long as you have to name the subject phrase and the verb one it's okay, but as soon as you reach the complements it all turns into a slow, painful process because there are ten thousand different kinds of complements and, apart from those 4 or 5 basic ones, recognising them from one another is the hardest thing ever). Clause analysis, on the other hand, is a walk in the park :) And ahahah. I'm an Italian grammar wiz, but English is not my mother tongue. I did get straight As in my language courses at uni, but you might want to get a native speaker for betaing. I'm really good at spotting typos, though :)
