MATERIAL TO BE COVERED [TENTATIVE]

Below you find, beyond the class-by-class outline of the course, the material to be covered. This is a tentative schedule, though I expect you to do the readings in order for us to move forward, roughly along these lines. I will update this page accordingly. Should you miss a class or forget the specific readings for the next class, check here -- THIS PAGE WILL ALWAYS BE UP-TO-DATE. (Unless otherwise stated, "chap." and "sec." refer to specific chapters and sections from Löbner 2002, respectively; "T.B.A" means "to be announced.".)
