For next week,  please complete the following two readings:

1. Chapter 1 of the Kearns textbook. The chapter provides an overview of the approach to linguistic meaning that we will adopt this semester.
2. a short excerpt on entailment (from Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet’s textbook Meaning and Grammar) that I have posted at the “Readings” section of this website.  Entailment is a fundamental notion in semantics, and it will constitute our main lecture topic for Th 1/24.

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