Linguistic LingField(s):	Semantics Lexicography

Query:	Dear linguists -- I'll be teaching an introduction to lexical semantics at the graduate level this spring semester, and I'm compiling a list of readings and texts to choose from. There doesn't seem to be an appropriate textbook available; I imagine I'm going to do a photocopied bulkpack of readings, and I imagine I'll have them buy Levin's Verb Classes and Alternations for source material (in English at least -- recommendations for sources for other languages very welcome). Can anyone supplement my imaginings with thoughts and opinions about what materials are useful and appropriate -- particularly people who may have taught such a course before? I'll summarize to the list if there's enough interest. I'll be teaching within a Minimalish syntactic framework, although I'll certainly be using materials from sources which are inimical to/incompatible with that type of approach as well. many thanks in advance, hh - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Heidi Harley (520) 626-3554 Department of Linguistics hharley@u.arizona.edu Douglass 200E Fax: (520) 626-9014 University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721
