For Friday 2/4 and Monday 2/7, please read sections 2.1 and 2.2 (pgs. 25-35) of the Kearns textbook.  The reading describes the language of propositional logic, a precisely-defined formal language that allows us to represent the truth conditions of certain English sentences.  We will spend our next several lectures becoming acquainted with the language of propositional logic, and seeing how semanticists use logic to investigate literal meaning.
