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
