Inquisitive Semantics: an introduction

February 17, 2023, h. 14:00-16:00.

Piero Martinetti Room, Department of Philosophy, Icehouse Courtyard, 1st floor, Via Festa del Perdono, 7

Abstract

Inquisitive semantics is a recent approach to the formal modelling of meaning which is designed to allow for an uniform analysis of statements and questions. In this talk I will introduce the key ideas of the approach and discuss some basic applications to the analysis of natural language.

It will be possible to access the meeting until all places are filled.

The meeting will be held in English.

Participation is strongly recommended to students of the Doctoral School in Philosophy and Human Sciences and to students of the Doctoral School “The Human Mind and its Explanations: Language, Brain, and Reasoning”.

Everyone interested is welcome to attend.
