Topics in Semantics: Course Description
This OpenCourseWare covering the purpose of various grammatical constructions is offered by the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT in Cambridge, MA. The course surveys the vagueness of language while at the same time attempting to quantify semantics. Students learn advanced topics in comparative language and superlatives, learning to measure gradability. The course explores the role of grammar elements while asserting the need for semantics to comprehensively understand language. Linguistics professors Dr. Irene Heim and Dr. Christopher Kennedy teach the course. A background in linguistics is recommended for students taking this course.
