controversies in the areas of language and concepts, especially from

working memory, first- and second-language learning, neurological
disorders and neuroimaging.

cover both the philosophical foundations of contemporary semantics and its

focus of this seminar will be truth conditional compositional semantics.
Topics will likely include: sense and reference; quantification; modality
and tense; referential opacity; the semantics of actions and events;
descriptions; the boundaries among syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Though
basic background in Analytic philosophy of language, formal logic or

presupposed.
