Reading for Th 9/24: Kearns 11.1.3 (pgs. 258-260) and Kearns 2.1-2.2 (pgs. 25-35)

Posted by on

For this Thursday’s class, read the following:

1.  Section 11.1.3 (pgs. 258-260) of the Kearns textbook.

This section briefly reviews Scalar Implicatures, which we talked about in today’s (Tuesday’s) class.  Be sure to have a look at this reading, since it provides several other examples of “linguistic scales”.

2.  Sections 2.1-2.2 (pgs. 25-35) of the Kearns textbook.

On Thursday, we’ll begin our discussion of Propositional Logic.  This reading provides a brief introduction.
