There are 12 course meetings. The course will be divided into 3 units with 4 course meetings each. We will cover three topics:
- Conversational Implicature
- Presupposition and Context Change
- Indexicality
In each unit, we will spend 3 meetings on developing basic concepts and formal tools. Then, in the 4th meeting of each unit, we will introduce and discuss some current “cutting edge” work in the area.
