Linguist 130a/230a – Section

This page is for the section accompanying Linguist 130a/230a. We will build on the technical tools introduced in the lecture, practice their use, and explore the similarities and differences of what we are doing with logic.

New materials will be added weekly (see below). You can also ask any course-related questions and do not have to be at the session for the whole time.
