Abstract

This is an introduction to the philosophy of language, with a focus on contemporary philosophy of language in the analytic philosophical tradition. In the first half of the course, students will read some classics of the analytic tradition (Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Austin) and be introduced to a number of notions, distinctions, and problems that form the background and toolbox of contemporary philosophy of language. In the second half of the course, we will discuss some issues in contemporary philosophy of linguistics (the principle of compositionality, basics of formal semantics, event semantics).
