Formal semantics is one of the central subdisciplines of modern linguistics. It allows an exact description and analysis of a wide range of linguistic phenomena. Such phenomena are
<!-- A detailed summary will be posted soon. -->
not only important for linguistic theorizing but also for cross-linguistic comparisions and, eventually, for foreign language teaching. However,
 
the content of formal semantics is very abstract and many students of philologies are easily scared away by this first impression.
The project will make it possible to develop material for all chapters of the LRS textbook that are usually covered in a semantics introduction. In particular, videos and online exercises will be developed to cover first-order predicate logic, basic syntax, semantic types, and basic semantic combinatorics, but also the more advanced topics of expletives and quantification.
The use of New media in teaching semantics can help reduce this obstacle and make students interested in the field of semantics. In the project, we will develop e-learing
 
material together with students and for students. The majority of this material will be made available on the current wiki and/or on the blog [http://www.english-linguistics.de english-linguistics.de].
The videos will be made available on our youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuHjSVZ370GSVlKyMpFE4cw Server English Linguistics]. The online exercises will primarily use [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Quiz wikiversity quiz].

Summary

The project will make it possible to develop material for all chapters of the LRS textbook that are usually covered in a semantics introduction. In particular, videos and online exercises will be developed to cover first-order predicate logic, basic syntax, semantic types, and basic semantic combinatorics, but also the more advanced topics of expletives and quantification.

The videos will be made available on our youtube channel Server English Linguistics. The online exercises will primarily use wikiversity quiz.
