Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is an advanced seminar in intensional semantics, specifically temporal semantics. We will read selected texts and aim to get a solid understanding of the semantic basics, as well as a certain cross-linguistic perspective. Participants need a solid background in formal semantics (as for example in Heim & Kratzer 1998 Semantics in Generative Grammar) or quantified logic.
