Professor: Professor CHEUNG Chi Hang


Course Description
How are expressions in a language system interpreted? What are the approaches towards decoding mechanisms in the study of meaning in natural languages? How does one account systematically for ambiguities in the meaning of sentences? To what extent is the study of meaning independent of language context and use? This course examines how meaning is systematically coded in the grammar of natural languages through structural and empirical methods of semantic analysis at the word, sentence and utterance levels. Basic concepts such as sense and reference, lexical semantics, truth functionality in conjunction, disjunction, implication and contradiction, events and entities, as well as quantification will be included.
