Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2060 This course is intended to familiarize you with original research in semantics. We will spend the first few weeks reviewing (or learning) the basic terms and tools of formal pragmatics and compositional semantics, including lambda calculus and event semantics. From there, we will read and discuss a selection of research articles in semantics and pragmatics, culminating in a final project for each student that investigates their own original research question related to meaning in language. Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC), Critical Interpretation (CI); Enrollment Cap: 15; If the course exceeds the enrollment cap the following criteria will be used for the lottery: 1) Linguistics majors, 2) Linguistics minors, 3) first years and sophomores, 4) juniors, 5) seniors. |
