Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The topic of this seminar is semantics, the study of meaning. The seminar will introduce students to different approaches to semantics such as semantic fields, sense relations and prototypes. In the course of the semester we will look at the relationship between referents in the real world, our mental concepts of these and the words we use for them, at the relationship between meaning and context of both words and utterances, and at the relationship between semantics and grammar.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Please note that the number of participants is limited to 40. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This is one of two identical seminars.In order to divide students equally between the two groups, you will also have to register via CLIX (<A href="https://clix.tu-darmstadt.de/"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"><FONT face="Times New Roman">https://clix.tu-darmstadt.de</SPAN></A>).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Requirements</SPAN></B><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">: Regular attendance and active participation.
