Spring, 1998 - Wednesdays 2:15 - 5:05, Building 50, Room 51P
This is a graduate seminar on semantics, intended primarily for students who have taken both LING 230A and LING 230B.
In contrast to the advertised topic of the seminar in the Bulletin, which was dynamic semantics, the main emphasis will in fact be on quantification. Two reasons for this change are: firstly, there was a course on Dynamic Semantics last quarter, and secondly, the shift in topic will allow students also taking LING 228 on Cross-linguistic Quantification to write a single joint paper for the two seminars.
The seminar will be based around readings, starting with Jon Barwise and Robin Cooper, Generalized Quantifiers and Natural Language, Linguistics and Philosophy 4, pp.159-219, 1981.
