Semantics is a discipline dealing with meanings at lexicon, syntax, discourse and pragmatic levels. This course provides an overview of general principles of semantics and explains the basic concepts in semantic analysis such as sense, reference, semantic features and meaning relations. Domain-specific topics to be covered include lexical semantics, structural semantics, cognitive semantics, and pragmatics. The peculiarities of semantic studies in Chinese will be the focus for examination.
