This is a journal paper-based seminar focusing on investigating semantic and pragmatic phenomena with experimental tools, such as behavioral methods (truth-value judgment tasks, reaction times, eye tracking) as well as neurocognitive methods, e.g., EEG. We will discuss empirical studies investigating topics such as conditional reasoning, implicatures, presuppositions, reasoning with quantifiers, conjunctions and disjunctions.Students will be required to actively participate and present a journal paper in class. For a graded course credit, students will prepare and present an experimental project idea including a short paper (either individually or as teamwork).
Requirements: Active participation and a presentation in class
Graded: An individual or a team project
