For M 9/17, please read the following two items, which may both be downloaded from the “Readings” section of this website.  (Note:  the “Readings” section is password-protected; you can find the password on the first page of your printed syllabus.)

1.  Huang, Yan. 2007. Pragmatics, Chap. 5 (‘Deixis’).

(Note that §5.3 of the Huang chapter is optional; we will not be discussing that material in class.)

2.  Partee, Barbara. 1989. Binding implicit variables in quantified contexts, §1-4 only.

(Note that the remaining sections of the Partee reading presuppose a familiarity with certain formal theories of semantics that you have not yet learned about.  So, our class discussion will focus on the first four sections of this paper only.)
