授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
This course provides the knowledge on the meaning of English words, phrases and sentences.  Students will learn model-theoretic semantics of natural languages. What is meaning? Does a sentence structure change the meaning of the sentence? Can we calculate the meaning of a sentence from the meaning of its parts, or constituents? The answers to these questions will be given in this course.
