This intensive seminar is designed to introduce students to the core empirical domains of English compositional semantics and equip them with the formal tools required for such investigations. Thus, the main objective of this course is to introduce the methods and applications of contemporary theoretical semantics. We will work with a particular program in formal semantics (Heim & Kratzer 1998) that is commonly used in the field to explain a wide variety of natural language phenomena, including issues surrounding the syntax-semantics interface. We focus on analysing fragments of English in order to train ourselves in this programme. A detailed syllabus will follow (see mitrovic.co/teaching). |
