| Leerdoelen | • Students can explain basic-level semantic and pragmatic terms, themes, tools and theories. • Students can apply these terms, themes and theories to analyze the meaning of English words and sentences in their context of use (spoken discourse and texts). • Students can identify and analyze original examples as illustrations of the terms and themes in a text of their own choice, and motivate a semantic-pragmatic analysis. • Students can participate in linguistic debate with peers, by convincingly discussing and presenting analyses of original semantic-pragmatic examples. |

| Omschrijving | This course offers an introduction to the semantics and pragmatics of the English grammatical system. Students become acquainted with important semantic and pragmatic concepts, tools and theories. They learn to apply these to actual English language samples by searching for and analyzing examples in authentic texts. The following topics are covered: sentence meaning, thought and reality; sentence relations and truth; event structure and event participants; context and inference; speech acts; proposition and predicate logic. These topics are discussed in theories of lexical meaning components and formal semantics. | ||||||||||||||||||||
