課程概述 |
This course will be in English. It will be a graduate survey of key issues in Philosophy of Language. We will look at the basics of the philosophy of language, including semantics and pragmatics. Students will study topics connected broadly to the systematic study of meaning, including theories of meaning and how these theories relate to language as a social practice. Students will develop their understanding of the concepts involved through in-class discussion, presentation, and two writing assignments. Students will learn general methodological lessons about debates in Philosophy of Language. Students will also develop their philosophical writing skills and presentational abilities. |
|
課程目標 |
The aim of the course is to provide students with conceptual tools for thinking about meaning and language in connection to philosophical issues. Students will learn general concepts from philosophy of language and ways in which they are applied to familiar contexts. |
|
課程要求 |
There are no prerequisites for the course. A previous course in philosophy or in logic is recommended. |
