Course Description:
Investigates the realm of meaning in language, and explores the different accounts for how we understand words and are able to use them to create complex meanings. What does a word mean, and how do we know what it means? Part of the course considers meaning at the word level: how can we define words and what relationships hold between sets of words? Another part examines meaning at the sentence level: sentential ambiguity, relations between sentences, and how the whole meaning of a sentence can be understood. A third part focuses on language at the discourse level, looking at the ways that language can be used directly or indirectly to accomplish speech acts.
