General information

Course description

In Semantics 1, we showed how to arrive at an interpretation for simple English sentences. In this follow-up course the participants will extend their analytic skills to more advanced phenomena, such as:

  • scope ambiguity (Everything that glitters isn't gold.)
  • the semantics of embedded clauses
  • semantic concord phenomena (as in substandard nobody ain't doin' nothing)
  • the semantics of modal auxiliaries (must, can, ...)
  • idioms and collocations

Entrance test

In order to participate in the course you need to send your solutions to the following test to sailer@em.uni-frankfurt.de no later than March 19, 2018. (note: extended deadline from a previous announcement!)
