Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1150 This course focuses on the study of meaning in human language. We will explore semantic issues that arise from the lexicon, the sentences, and the discourse. Along the way, we will investigate not only the semantic structure of natural language but also pragmatic factors that affect language use. This is a participation-intensive course. In the process, students will not only learn the basic semantic theory but will also develop skills in observing semantic patterns and analyzing these patterns in order to come to some generalizations on their own.; Enrollment Limit: 35; Lottery Preference: Students who have taken either LING 101, 113, or 114, then preference to students by class (Senior, then Junior, etc.) as space permits.
