Course 7.5 credits • SVEB11

The course SVEB11 is currently not being offered

The course deals with the description of meaning at various levels, with emphasis on word and clause level. The relationships between various words are studied (synonymy, opposition etc.) as is the relationship between different uses of the same word (polysemy, vagueness, homonymy). Synchronous semantic variation is related to semantic change over time. The relationship between language, people and reality is discussed from various perspectives, in which, among other things, concepts such as reference, inference in context, presupposition and speech acts are emphasised. The course gives an overview of various semantic theories with an emphasis on cognitive semantics.
