The goal of this project is to create a sophomore-level undergraduate course introducing students from a wide variety of backgrounds to the principles and results of linguistic semantics. The heart of this course is a software "workbook" that presents the material in an interactive, graphic environment. The course and workbook address various aspects of meaning, including its relation to word and sentence form (morphology & syntax), its relation to systems of mental representation (cognition), and the interaction between meaning and use. The goals of the course are to reveal to students the complex internal system of internal rules and principles that underlie our abilities as native language speakers, to let them experience some of the intellectual excitement that comes with discovering such principles and struggling to formulate them in a precise way, and to encourage them to explore the computer as a model of how we, as human beings, think and understand. The results of this work will be of significant value in introducing undergraduates to the principles of scientific reasoning, in reaching students not otherwise considering science majors or extensive science electives, and in helping to foster interest and interdisciplinary exploration in the cognitive sciences.

该项目的目标是创建一个走廊级 本科课程介绍学生从各种各样的 语言学的原则和结果的背景 语义 本课程的核心是一个软件“工作簿” 它以一种互动的、图形化的方式呈现材料， 环境 本课程和练习册涉及各个方面 意义，包括它与词和句子形式的关系 （形态句法），它与心理系统的关系 表征（认知），以及意义之间的相互作用 和使用. 本课程的目标是向学生揭示 内部规则和原则的复杂内部系统， 作为母语使用者的能力的基础，让他们 体验一些智力上的兴奋， 发现这些原则，并努力将其表述为 一种精确的方式，并鼓励他们探索计算机， 一个我们人类如何思考和理解的模型。 的 这项工作的结果将具有重大价值， 向本科生介绍科学原理 推理，在接触没有考虑的学生时 科学专业或广泛的科学选修课，并帮助 培养兴趣和跨学科的探索， 认知科学
