2 Sentence types What is the meaning of a sentence? The lion devoured the pizza. Statement 2
3 Sentence types What is the meaning of a sentence? Who devoured the pizza? Did the lion devour the pizza? Question 3
4 Sentence types What is the meaning of a sentence? Do your homework! Command 4
5 Sentence types What is the meaning of a sentence? It s cold here. Do you know what time it is? Sentences might convey additional non-literal meaning 5
6 What do sentences mean? (1) The capital of Canada is Ottawa (2) The capital of Canada is Montreal 6
7 What do sentences mean? (1) The capital of Canada is Ottawa (2) The capital of Canada is Montreal The meaning of a sentence is related to whether it is true or false (its truth value). In the actual world: (1) is True (2) is False 7
8 What do sentences mean? BUT: This can t be all, since the truth-values of sentences can change over time or situations Reese is in room 20 The cat is on the mat 8
9 What do sentences mean? We can grasp the meaning of a sentence without knowing whether it s true or false. The name of the person sitting closest to the door starts with a D. 9
10 What do sentences mean? We can grasp the meaning of sentences we ve never heard before. The furry cat ate the red jellybean 10
11 Definition: Semantics and meaning The semantic competence of a speaker: The ability, when presented with a sentence and a situation, to tell whether the sentence is true or false in the situation. 11
12 Definition: Semantics and meaning The semantic competence of a speaker: The ability, when presented with a sentence and a situation, to tell whether the sentence is true or false in the situation. To know the meaning of a sentence is to know its truth conditions. That is, we know what the world would have to look like in order for the sentence to be true. 12
13 Building a semantic system How can we specify the meanings of infinitely many sentences in natural language? The scary lion devoured the mushroom pizza that I ordered last night 13
14 Building a semantic system Observation: The interpretation of a sentence depends on its syntactic structure. Different phrases make predictable contributions to the meaning of a sentence. The cat chased the rat 14
15 Building a semantic system Observation: The interpretation of a sentence depends on its syntactic structure. Different phrases make predictable contributions to the meaning of a sentence. The cat chased the rat The rat chased the cat 15
16 Building a semantic system Observation: The interpretation of a sentence depends on its syntactic structure. Different phrases make predictable contributions to the meaning of a sentence. The cat chased the rat The grey cat chased the rat The grey cat with the hat chased the rat 16

18 Building a semantic system Observation: The interpretation of a sentence depends on its syntactic structure. Different phrases make predictable contributions to the meaning of a sentence. The cat chased the rat The cat licked the rat 18
19 Building a semantic system Observation: The interpretation of a sentence depends on its syntactic structure. Different phrases make predictable contributions to the meaning of a sentence. The cat chased the rat A cat chased the rat 19
20 Definition: Compositional semantics The principle of compositionality: The meaning of a sentence depends only on the meanings of its parts and on the way that they are syntactically combined. Gottlob Frege This image is in the public domain. Source: Wikimedia Commons. 20

The task of the semantics of a language is to provide the truth-conditions of all the well-formed sentences in that language, and to do so in a compositional way 21
22 Basic modeling Mitzi is gray Mitzi is a cat Mitzi purred NP IP I purred is gray is a cat We can define adjectives, nouns and intransitive verbs as mathematical sets of individuals. 22
23 Basic modeling Mitzi is gray Mitzi is a cat Mitzi purred A set is a collection of objects. NP IP I purred is gray is a cat Gray is the collection of all gray individuals. Cat is the collection of all individuals who are cats. Purred is the collection of all individuals who purred. 23
24 Basic modeling Mitzi is gray Mitzi is a cat Mitzi purred Mitzi is a member of the set of individuals that are gray. Mitzi Gray NP IP I purred is gray is a cat 24
25 Basic modeling Mitzi is gray Mitzi is a cat Mitzi purred Mitzi is a member of the set of individuals that are cats. Mitzi Cat NP IP I purred is gray is a cat 25
26 Basic modeling Mitzi is gray Mitzi is a cat Mitzi purred Mitzi is a member of the set of individuals that purred. Mitzi Purred NP IP I purred is gray is a cat 26
27 Mitzi [ I is a gray cat ] Modification Mitzi is a member of the set of individuals who are gray AND a member of the set of individuals who are cats. Mitzi Gray AND Mitzi Cat 27
28 Mitzi [ I is a gray cat ] Modification Set intersection: The set that results from combining two other sets Mitzi Gray Cat Cat Gray 28
29 Modification Set intersection can describe other adjectives too: Mitzi is a gray cat Gianni is an Italian waiter T-Rex is a carnivorous dinosaur This is a round ball These are called intersective adjectives. 29
30 Modification Intersective adjectives conform to an entailment pattern. Mitzi is a gray cat Mitzi is a cat Mitzi is gray 30
31 Modification Intersective adjectives conform to an entailment pattern. Mitzi is a gray cat Mitzi is a cat Mitzi is gray A entails B iff whenever A is true, B is true. 31
32 Modification There are also non-intersective adjectives: George is a former president This is a fake diamond 32
33 Modification There are also non-intersective adjectives: George is a former president This is a fake diamond The entailment pattern doesn t hold: George is a former president George is a president [not valid]??george is former [not valid] 33
34 Modification There are also non-intersective adjectives: George is a former president This is a fake diamond In fact: George is a former president George is not a president George was a president in the past 34
35 Connectives Mitzi [ I is gray and furry ] Connectives can be described in set terms. AND denotes set intersection Gray Furry Grey Furry 35
![Connectives Mitzi [ I is gray or black ] Connectives can be](/docs-images/83/88732025/images/36-1.jpg "described in set terms.")
36 Connectives Mitzi [ I is gray or black ] Connectives can be described in set terms. OR denotes set union Gray Black Gray Black 36
37 Interim summary Nouns, intransitive verbs, and adjectives can be described using set intersection. is a cat Cat Mitzi is gray = Gray purred Purred 37
38 Interim summary AND can also be described using set intersection. Mitzi is gray AND furry = Gray Furry OR can also be described using set union. Mitzi is gray OR black = Gray Black 38
39 More modeling Proper names pick out individuals in the world. John danced 39
40 More modeling Proper names pick out individuals in the world. John danced What does some boy refer to? Some boy danced 40
41 More modeling Proper names pick out individuals in the world. John danced What does some boy refer to? Some boy danced What about no boy? No boy danced 41
42 Determiners English has several additional determiners: Some boy danced No boy danced Three boys danced More than half of the boys danced Every boy danced 42
43 Determiners How do we model determiners? Some boy danced No boy danced Three boys danced More than half of the boys danced Every boy danced 43
44 Determiners How do we model determiners? Some boy danced No boy danced Three boys danced More than half of the boys danced Every boy danced NPs with determiners don t refer to individuals. Rather, determiners denote set relations. 44
45 Some boy danced Determiners The intersection of the set of boys and the set of dancers is not empty Boy Danced Boy Danced 45
46 Some boy danced Determiners Can there be boys who are not dancers? Can there be dancers who are not boys? Boy Danced 46
47 Some boy danced Determiners Can there be boys who are not dancers? Yes. Can there be dancers who are not boys? Yes. Boy Danced 47
48 Determiners No boy danced The intersection of the set of boys and the set of dancers is empty Boy Danced = Boy Danced 48
49 Determiners No boy danced Can there be boys who are not dancers? Can there be dancers who are not boys? Boy Danced 49
50 Determiners No boy danced Can there be boys who are not dancers? Yes. Can there be dancers who are not boys? Yes. Boy Danced 50
51 Three boys danced Determiners The intersection of the set of boys and the set of dancers contains three elements. Boy Danced = 3 Boy Danced 51
52 Three boys danced Determiners Can there be boys who are not dancers? Can there be dancers who are not boys? Boy Danced 52
53 Three boys danced Determiners Can there be boys who are not dancers? Yes. Can there be dancers who are not boys? Yes. Boy Danced 53
54 Determiners More than half of the boys danced The intersection of the set of boys and the set of dancers contains more than half of all the boys. Boy Danced > ½ Boy Boy Danced 54
55 Determiners More than half of the boys danced Can there be boys who are not dancers? Can there be dancers who are not boys? Boy Danced 55
56 Determiners More than half of the boys danced Can there be boys who are not dancers? Yes (but...) Can there be dancers who are not boys? Yes. Boy Danced 56
57 Every boy danced Determiners The set of boys is a subset of the set of dancers. Boy Danced Boy Danced 57
58 Every boy danced Determiners Can there be boys who are not dancers? Can there be dancers who are not boys? Boy Danced 58
59 Every boy danced Determiners Can there be boys who are not dancers? No. Can there be dancers who are not boys? Yes. Boy Danced 59
60 Determiners summary All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Some(Boy)(Danced) Three(Boy)(Danced) More than half(boy)(danced) No(Boy)(Danced) Every(Boy)(Danced) 60
61 Determiners summary All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Some(Boy)(Danced) Three(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced More than half(boy)(danced) No(Boy)(Danced) Every(Boy)(Danced) 61
62 Determiners summary All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Some(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced Three(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced = 3 More than half(boy)(danced) No(Boy)(Danced) Every(Boy)(Danced) 62
63 Determiners summary All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Some(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced Three(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced = 3 More than half(boy)(danced) Boy Danced > ½ Boy No(Boy)(Danced) Every(Boy)(Danced) 63
64 Determiners summary All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Some(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced Three(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced = 3 More than half(boy)(danced) Boy Danced > ½ Boy No(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced = Every(Boy)(Danced) 64
65 Determiners summary All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Some(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced Three(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced = 3 More than half(boy)(danced) Boy Danced > ½ Boy No(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced = Every(Boy)(Danced) Boy Danced 65
66 Properties of determiners All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) All the determiners we have seen so far put restrictions on members of set A, but not on members of set B. A B A B 66 not: A B
67 Properties of determiners All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) Are there determiners that put restrictions on set B? A B A B 67 not: A B
68 Properties of determiners All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) For example, every-non(a)(b) blarg boy danced = every non-boy danced That is: A B 68
69 Properties of determiners All the sentences we have seen have the structure: Det(A)(B) For example, Reverse-mth(A)(B) blick boys danced = more than half of the dancers are boys That is: A B > ½ B 69
70 Conservativity Natural language determiners only care about elements that satisfy their first argument. Det is conservative if Det(A)(B) Det(A)(A B): every(boy)(danced) = every boy danced = every boy is a boy that danced conservative every-non(boy)(danced) non-conservative = every non-boy danced every non-boy is a boy that danced [*] 70
71 Conservativity Natural language determiners only care about elements that satisfy their first argument. Det is conservative if Det(A)(B) Det(A)(A B): more than half(boy)(danced) conservative = more than half of the boys danced = more than half of the boys are boys who danced Reverse-mth(boy)(danced) non-conservative = more than half of the dancers are boys more than half of the boys who danced are boys [*] 71
72 Conservativity Universal: All natural language determiners are conservative. Therefore: no language has a simple determiner that means every-non or Reverse-mth blarg boys danced = every non-boy danced Does not exit! blick boys danced = more than half of the dancers are boys 72 Does not exit!

82 An application: Explaining entailment patterns Some boy sings and some boy dances. Some boy sings and dances A entails B iff whenever A is true, B is true. We can find a situation where A is true but B is false. Hence, A does not entail B 82
83 The definite article What is the meaning of the definite article? Some cat purred Every cat purred The cats purred 83
84 The definite article What is the meaning of the definite article? Some cat purred Cat Purred = Every cat purred The cats purred 84
85 The definite article What is the meaning of the definite article? Some cat purred Cat Purred = Every cat purred Cat Purred The cats purred 85
86 The definite article What is the meaning of the definite article? Some cat purred Cat Purred = Every cat purred Cat Purred The cats purred? 86
87 The definite article What is the meaning of the definite article? Some cat purred Cat Purred = Every cat purred Cat Purred The cats purred? At first glance, the has a meaning similar to every 87
88 We might define the as: The definite article The cats purred Cat Purred 88
89 The definite article We might define the as: The cats purred Cat Purred Does this work in this context? 89
90 The definite article We might define the as: The cats purred Cat Purred Does this work in this context? Context: There are three cats. Every cat purred The cats purred #The cat purred 90
91 The definite article The cat purred The expression the cat presupposes: Existence: there exists a cat Uniqueness: there is exactly one (relevant) cat 91
92 The cat purred The definite article The expression the cat presupposes: Existence: there exists a cat Uniqueness: there is exactly one (relevant) cat When there is exactly one relevant individual in NP, the returns that individual. the cat defined iff there is one c Cat. Returns c. 92
93 Presuppositions of the The presuppositions of the definite often spring into existence, even if they weren t known beforehand. I forgot to feed the cat this morning 93
94 Presuppositions of the The presuppositions of the definite often spring into existence, even if they weren t known beforehand. I forgot to feed the cat this morning You will accommodate the fact that I have a cat. 94
95 Presuppositions of the The presuppositions of the definite often spring into existence, even if they weren t known beforehand. I forgot to feed the cat this morning You will accommodate the fact that I have a cat. If no one objects to what I said, the assumption that I have a cat will be added to the common ground of our conversation. 95
96 Accommodation How easy it is to accommodate depends on the plausibility of what I said. 96
97 Accommodation How easy it is to accommodate depends on the plausibility of what I said. Context: We are at my house and you hear some scratching noises outside. (1) The cat is at the door. (2) The giraffe is at the door. (3) I keep a giraffe here. The giraffe is at the door. 97
98 Accommodation Normally, we assume that speakers intend to say things that are grammatical, relevant, and often true. In the closet, you will find the blue coat 98
99 Accommodation Normally, we assume that speakers intend to say things that are grammatical, relevant, and often true. In the closet, you will find the blue coat Suppose that after I said this sentence, you open the closet and find only a black coat. 99
100 Accommodation Normally, we assume that speakers intend to say things that are grammatical, relevant, and often true. In the closet, you will find the blue coat Suppose that after I said this sentence, you open the closet and find only a black coat. You may assume I just got the color confused. 100
101 Accommodation Normally, we assume that speakers intend to say things that are grammatical, relevant, and often true. In the closet, you will find the blue coat Suppose that after I said this sentence, you open the closet and find only a black coat. Or you might assume you got the color confused and it s really a dark blue coat. 101
102 Accommodation We use a similar process to choose the meaning of ambiguous sentences. 102
103 Accommodation We use a similar process to choose the meaning of ambiguous sentences. Successful lawyers and linguists are always rich 103
104 Accommodation We use a similar process to choose the meaning of ambiguous sentences. Successful lawyers and linguists are always rich a. [Successful lawyers] and linguists are always rich b. Successful [lawyers and linguists] are always rich 104
105 Accommodation We use a similar process to choose the meaning of ambiguous sentences. Successful lawyers and linguists are always rich a. [Successful lawyers] and linguists are always rich b. Successful [lawyers and linguists] are always rich Since (a) is obviously false, you ll normally conclude that I meant (b). 105
106 Accommodation We use this process to assign implicit parameters in a way that would make sentences true. Everybody in the room is taller than me 106
107 Accommodation We use this process to assign implicit parameters in a way that would make sentences true. Everybody in the room is taller than me Context: There are four people in the room; you, me, and two other people who I don t know. a. You: We are brothers. b. You: We are four, so we can play bridge. 107
108 Accommodation Sometimes we can t accommodate a presupposition. I forgot to feed the cat this morning! I forgot to feed the giraffe this morning! 108
109 Accommodation Sometimes we can t accommodate a presupposition. I forgot to feed the cat this morning! I forgot to feed the giraffe this morning! The TA is sitting in the front row Uniqueness is violated! The king of France is bald Existence is violated! 109
110 Conclusion The king of France is bald Modeling using sets: We defined intransitive verbs, nouns and adjectives as sets of individuals. IP I NP is bald 110
111 Conclusion The king of France is bald Modeling using sets: We defined connectives (and, or) and determiners (some, every, no, three, more than half) as relations between two sets. 111
112 Conclusion Compositionality: We calculated the meaning of sentences from the meaning of their parts and the syntactic structure they were in. 112
113 Conclusion Compositionality: We calculated the meaning of sentences from the meaning of their parts and the syntactic structure they were in. The meanings we calculated derived the truth conditions of the sentences. 113
114 Conclusion Compositionality: We calculated the meaning of sentences from the meaning of their parts and the syntactic structure they were in. The meanings we calculated derived the truth conditions of the sentences. When combined with a context, we yield a truth value 114
115 Conclusion Finally, we discussed the definite article and its presuppositions. The king of France is bald Existence Uniqueness 115
