LING 6600 - Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics
Effective Start Date: 04/10/2023 Course explores cognitive faculties that enable people to interpret and use language. We look closely and critically at theories that ask what categories, words and constructions denote (semantic theories) and theories that ask how linguistic form relates to discourse-conversation (pragmatic theories). Students should have taken a prior Linguistics class to succeed in this course.
