This class is an introduction to the systematic investigation of
linguistic meaning, that is, the relationship between linguistic
form, its use and interpretation. How do we talk about meaning? What
kinds of meaning are there? Does meaning depend on context? Three
broad areas will constitute the framework for the course: meaning at
the word level (lexical semantics), meaning at the grammatical
level, and meaning derived from context (pragmatics).
