This course offers an introduction to semantics, starting out from the basic concepts and notions that were introduced in Module 1 and broadened in Module 6, linking them to modern semantic theory-building. Students will be initiated to theoretical approaches to semantics including a gentle introduction to the logical representation systems for semantics. We will also focus on the role of semantics in the overall structure of the language system, hence, will investigate the syntax-semantics interface that determines the meaning of syntactically complex constituents on the basis of syntactic structures. |
