- 795Q: Quantitative methods for linguistics (Mary E. Beckman)
- This course is a very basic introduction to some aspects of quantitative methods in linguistics. Two small case studies will be covered, with copious notes and references to other resources that students can use to begin to build the necessary skills to understand numeric arguments. (excerpted from the course website)

- LIN526: Comparative Syntactic Theories (Jeff Good)
- The objective of the proposed course is to offer a survey of important modern (i.e., post-1950) approaches to syntactic theory. Theoretical models to be covered include various transformationalist approaches, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, and typological and functional approaches.

- LIN543: Semantics II (Jürgen Bohnemeyer)
- At the center of LIN443/543 lies the predominant approach to compositional semantics (the study of sentence meaning) in contemporary linguistics and philosophy: formal semantics, developed by philosophers of language such as Max Cresswell, Donald Davidson, David Lewis, Richard Montague, and Robert Salnaker in the 1960s and 70s based on the groundwork laid by the logicians Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) and Alfred Tarski (1902-1983).

- CSE727: Contextual Vocabulary Acquisition (William Rapaport)
- We are (1) developing a computational theory of how natural-language-understanding systems---including both computational and human cognitive agents---can automatically acquire new vocabulary by determining from context a meaning for words that are unknown, misunderstood, or used in a new sense, and (2) adapting the algorithms for doing this to a curriculum so that these methods can be taught to students in a classroom setting.
