Lecture Notes

Throughout the semester, I will be handing out chapters from our lecture notes on intensional semantics. These are co-authored by myself and Irene Heim and have been evolving for years now, starting with some old notes from the early 1990s by Angelika Kratzer, Irene Heim, and myself, which have since been modified and expanded every year by Irene or myself. Because this version of the notes has not been seen by my co-author, I alone am responsible for any defects.

This is a work in progress. We may eventually publish these materials as a follow-up volume to Heim & Kratzer’s Semantics in Generative Grammar, Blackwell 1998. In the meantime, we encourage the use of these notes in courses at other institutions. Of course, you need to give full credit to the authors and you may not use the notes for any commercial purposes. If you use the notes, we would like to be notified and we would very much appreciate any comments, criticism, and advice on these materials.
