One more semantics teacher & preliminary semantics topics

Morwenne Hoeks will join the semantics line-up in week 2.

And here are some preliminary topics for semantic classes (stay tuned for more):

  • Ashwini Deo & David Beaver: Speech act and force modifying discourse particles (possibly also response particles) (week 1)
  • Jon Ander Mendia & Rajesh Bhatt: possibly introduction to semantics (week 1) / another topic class (week 1)
  • Tom Roberts: Attitudes (week 1 and maybe also week 2, or another topic for one of the weeks)
  • Morwenna Hoeks: Focus semantics and focus processing / using incremental measures (week 2)
  • two more classes by Nina Haslinger and Jon Ander Mendia in week 2 (and somewhere in this there should also be a second week intro to semantics)
