summaryThis course will deal with the role of compositionality within linguistic communication. It will cover the standard arguments for compositionality and the role of communication in justifying the claim that natural language has compositional semantics. Within this setting, we will discuss computability and complexity issues, and how semantics interfaces with pragmatic factors in cases where we have semantic or pragmatic context dependence.
