Description:
"You can't cook eggplant too long." Nobody who speaks English has any trouble understanding that sentence. However, it can mean both one thing (perhaps that eggplant is best eaten rare) and its opposite (eggplant can be cooked indefinitely long with no bad effects). This course on meaning in language will investigate meaning that arises from the structure of sentences and their use, as well as the meanings of words and phrases.
Special Notes:
This course may not be repeated for additional credits.
