LING 240 Topics in Semantics and Pragmatics 6 credits
Semantics is the study of how speakers interpret what words and constructions mean in a language. Pragmatics is the study of how factors related to context affect interpretations. Topics include lexical semantics, the computation of meaning over syntactic structures, the various interpretations of ambiguous constructions, and the computation of contextually supplied information. Offered at both the 200 and 300 level, coursework will be adjusted accordingly. Register for LING 340 if you have taken LING 216; register for 240 if you have taken a 100-level linguistics course and have not taken LING 216.
