Linguistic meaning and its role in communication. Topics include ambiguity, vagueness, presupposition, intonational meaning, and Grice's theory of conversational implicature.

Pre- or corequisite: 120, 121, consent of instructor, or graduate standing in Linguistics.
Terms: Win | Units: 4

LINGUIST 230B: Semantics and Pragmatics I

Expands on 130A/230A. Detailed study of selected topics in formal semantics and pragmatics. Prerequisites: LINGUIST 130A/230A or permission from instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 2-4
Instructors: Lassiter, D. (PI)

LINGUIST 230C: Semantics and Pragmatics II

We focus on a topic in the meaning and use of linguistic expressions to explore a number of central issues in semantics and pragmatics. These include quantification, binding, referentiality, presupposition, pragmatic inferences, context-dependency, indexicality, and systems of dynamic interpretation. Prerequisites: LINGUIST 230B or permission of the instructor.

LINGUIST 232A: Lexical Semantics

Introduction to issues in word meaning, focused primarily around verbs. Overview of the core semantic properties of verbs and the organization of the verb lexicon. Approaches to lexical semantic representation, including semantic role lists, proto-roles, and causal and aspectual theories of event conceptualization.
Terms: Aut | Units: 2-4
Instructors: Levin, B. (PI)

LINGUIST 232B: Seminar in Lexical Semantics: Agents, External Arguments, and Clause Structure

An investigation into the semantic foundations of clause structure through the lens of agentivity. Review of recent research on the nature of agentivity, with a focus on investigations of non-canonical instances (e.g., non-volitional agents, emitters, natural forces, projectiles). Implications for current syntactic assumptions about the nature of the clause (e.g., severing the external argument, voice P, little v). May be repeated for credit with different content.

LINGUIST 234: The Structure of Discourse: Theory and Applications (LINGUIST 134A)

In this course we will address the structure of language above the sentence concentrating initially on: nn(1) defining the minimal units of discourse structuren(2) recursive rules of combination of minimal units (i.e. discourse ¿syntax¿)n(3) representations of discourse level phenomenan(4) the nature and structure of spoken and written formal and informal discourse genres and Speech events in English and other languages including stories, explanations, literary works etc. on the one hand, and socially constructed occasions of speaking such as classes, doctor patient interactions, and informal conversation on the other.
Last offered: Autumn 2015

LINGUIST 235: Semantic Fieldwork

Techniques for evidence from less well-studied languages within formal semantic theory. Semantic phenomena, and techniques for investigating them, including scope, quantifiers, pronouns, focus, tense, aspect, mood, evidentiality, and information structure. Practical work on a language.

LINGUIST 236: Seminar in Semantics: Formal semantics and the psychology of reasoning (PSYCH 236C)
