Note: if anyone missed class, the video is available to be viewed in Geddes Language Center:
For semantics reading, concentrate on these sections: pp. 203-210 (up to the heading "Componential Analysis"),
212 ("Verb meaning and subcategorization"), 216-218, 221-228, and section 4 (232-238). For interpretation of
pronouns, I will not expect you to have command over a greater level of detail than what was discussed in class,
although the section in the text does provide more detail about structural relations and you may find it
interesting to read more about that: pp. 228-231.
