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, 2019. (note: extended deadline from a previous announcement!)
You can find some help on the page with the mock exam for the Semantics 1 class of the summer term 2015: mock exam SoSe 2015
If you have successfully passed the written exam of a Semantics 1 course by Frank Richter or Manfred Sailer, you need not do the entrance test.
