Subject: Weak Case?
Based on Chomsky's (1995a) MP...
If a Case feature is weak, does that mean it doesn't have to be checked
(and deleted) until LF? Given that Case features are universally
[-interpretable] - meaning their existence will cause a derivation crash at
LF - how is it possible to delay checking until LF?

Subject: Semantic meaning vs. Pragmatic meaning
Greetings,
I am working on meaning reception in discourse. I was wondering if it is
possible to understand and analyze the pragmatic meaning of a phrase or
sentence before its semantic meaning. Could you please help me on this?
Your consideration is highly appreciated,
