SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Elizabeth Smith (Northwestern University)
DESCRIPTION:<span class="title">Testing tests: investigations in the typology of meaning</span><p>Semanticists and pragmaticists have a number of tests for classifying meanings as assertions\, presuppositions\, implicatures\, etc.\, and on the basis of these tests\, we make claims about the analyses of various phenomena in a wide range of languages\, so it is important that we know what these tests are really telling us (and what they are tests *of*). In this talk\, I report the results of a number of experiments I have conducted while at Northwestern designed to elucidate the links between different kinds of meanings according to their patterns with respect to some of these tests.</p><span class="location">Chambers Hall (600 Foster Street)\, Lower Classroom Level</span>
