Notes on Expressive Meanings

I apologize for not having my lecture notes ready for the past two meetings. I just uploaded a draft of some “notes”:http://semantics-online.org/pragmatics/expressive.pdf. They will be filled out in the next few days. I have added a couple of pages spelling out the alternative system I mulled over in class. Please look at it and let me know whether there are any obvious mistakes. I am well aware that as it is, it falls far short of being explicit and clean. But I trust the idea can be glimpsed. It would be interesting if Potts’ results could be replicated in such a system, one without an intermediary “meaning language”.

Since I will be updating this handout over the next few days, I’ll be keeping track here of when the latest version was posted:
