Course
Course 7.5 credits • LINC04
The course gives a basic understanding of concepts within the field of semantics and pragmatics. Various traditions are illuminated, both theoretically and through the execution of problem-based exercises. Among these traditions are structural-typological semantics, logical semantics, cognitive semantics, and theories of pragmatic meaning. Central philosophical issues will be discussed: What is meaning? What is the relationship between meaning, world and consciousness? The emphasis is however on linguistic questions such as: Do different languages have different meaning systems? What is the relationship between linguistic meaning and context?
