In Tuesday’s (1/24) class, we will continue our discussion of entailment, which is a fundamental notion in semantics. In preparation for our discussion, please read the short excerpt on entailment (from G. Chierchia & S. McConnell-Ginet’s semantics textbook Meaning and Grammar) that I have posted in the “Readings” section of this website.

(Note: remember that the “Readings” section is password-protected. The password is listed on the first page of the course syllabus.)
