Semantics and Pragmatics

The course commences with a definition of the goals of a theory of meaning and theories of word meaning. The course is devoted to the concepts

and constituents of word meaning and gradually moves to larger constructions, sentence meaning and utterance meaning (that is, meaning in actual communication).

The remaining part of the course will cover the area of pragmatics. Examples of concepts to be covered in pragmatics include politeness, implicature, speech acts, deixis,

and presupposition.
