This seminar will be concerned with several topics of central importance in the semantics of natural lanaguage, and will involve reading original papers in these fields. We will study the Kamp-Heim theory (Discourse Representation Theory), intensionality and modality (reading from Angelika Kratzer's work), genericity, polarity sensitivity, and perhaps one or two other topics, as time permits
prerequisites: Foundations of Formal Semantics
