| This course introduces students to semantics ? the study of linguistic meaning. In this course, students examine meaning from a variety of perspectives including how it is encoded in words and sentences, how native speakers interpret language, and how truth and falsehood can emerge from the complexity of the grammar. Students become aware of the various aspects of pragmatics ? the function of meaning in a communicative setting. Topics include predication and quantification, scope and anaphora, problems of discourse analysis, various issues at the interface of semantics and pragmatics, and cross-linguistic semantics. |
