semantics

We have the formal background necessary to compositionally interepret minimalist grammars.

The system we introduced in the previous lecture provides a particular notation for cooper storage. Cooper storage was invented by Robin Cooper (and presented in his 1983 book) as an alternative way of interpreting sentences with quantificational elements.

We discussed in what sense the Heim and Kratzer semantics is not compositional as stated, and how to reformulate so that it becomes so. slides
