The aim of the course is to introduce the students to some basic approaches to the study of meaning in Linguistics and
related fields (primarily Cognitive Science and Psychology). The primary focus will be on word meaning (lexical semantics),
although sentential semantics and pragmatics will be introduced as well. Theoretical topics covered include categorization,
acquisition of concepts, figures of speech, mental spaces, or lexical semantic change. Various semantic domains will be
examined in connection with these topics but two will be treated in depth from various perspectives: the semantics of
everyday concepts, and the semantics of space and motion.
