Introduction to the formal foundations of Montague Grammar. The primary goals of this course are two-fold. First, this course aims to elucidate the historical, intellectual, and technical/theoretical context of some of the most important foundational works in the discipline of formal natural language semantics. Secondly, the course aims to provide students with (some of) the background necessary to comprehend and critically evaluate papers written within the `Montague Grammar? tradition, particularly the classic papers found in Montague (1974) and Partee (1976).

Comprehensive survey of semantic problems in transformational-generative linguistics.

Introduction to generative phonology primarily for graduate students in linguistics. Formalism developed and justified in response to increasingly complex sets of data.

Intensive introduction to the concepts of transformational grammar. Survey in depth of problems and methods of research, with emphasis on different types of linguistic evidence and argument.

With lab. Introduction to the investigation of meaning from a linguistic, philosophical, and psychological point of view.

How are meanings connected to syntactic structure and intonation? Prerequisite: LINGUIST 201 and 401.
