Humans effortlessly comprehend and create sentences that have never been encountered before. This ability hinges on a process where the meaning of a complex phrase is derived from its individual parts and how they fit together (known as compositional semantics). Moreover, understanding sentences isn't just about their literal meaning; it involves considering the context and the speaker's intentions (pragmatics). Formal semantics and pragmatics seek to delve into these dual aspects of meaning. While the course is conducted in English, students are welcome to ask questions or make remarks in either German or English.
