Advanced Semantics and Pragmatics

The aim of this class is to lead and supervise students into conducting their own research in semantics and pragmatics. Joint and collaborative work will be encouraged.

On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:             

• Read and comment contemporary literature on semantics and pragmatics in theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics.
• Contribute to original research in the domain of semantics and pragmatics.
• assess critically research proposals in semantics and pragmatics
• participate in collaborative research

Basic knowledge of theoretical semantics is required, as provided e.g. by the S1 class "Semantics".
