Practice seminar
Ü-Semantics and Pragmatics
Sofia Rüdiger
Comments
This course is concerned with meaning in language. First, we will consider semantics, as the study of word, phrase, and sentence meaning and investigate phenomena such as meaning relations among words (e.g., synonymy, polysemy, hyponomy), word meaning (e.g., connotation/denotation, intension/extension), conceptualization and categorization (e.g., fuzzy concepts, prototypes, metaphor), and meaning relations among sentences. The second part of the course is dedicated to meaning in context, i.e., pragmatics. There, we explore topics such as implicature, presupposition, reference, and speech acts.
