This year we will focus on the interaction between logic and cognitive science in the realm of formal semantics and pragmatics. In particular, we will be interested in the study of quantifier expressions in natural language.
In the first part of the course we will cover basics of the generalized quantifier theory, paying attention to cognitive, linguistic, and computational issues. See Quantifiers and Cognition book.
In the second part of the course we will discuss the selection of research articles, see here for the list.
In the third part of course we focus on individual research proposals.
