Inhalt
Language has a central place in our lives: thanks to language we communicate thoughts, emotions, and information to others. Because of its everyday use, language seems unproblematic. This seminar invites students not to take language for granted: How can strings of symbols (called words and sentences ) have a meaning? Do machines like ChatGPT process language as we humans do? What are the boundaries of language, and is there something that language cannot express? This seminar introduces students to recent debates on the limits of language broadly construed (including e.g. the language of mathematics) and its relevance in our world understanding. Moreover, the seminar provides students with basic skills in automated language operations; this includes the exploration of language with Artificial Intelligence software. Students in philosophy, computer science, linguistics, and students with interdisciplinary interests are welcome. The seminar does not require any previous knowledge. It can be followed autonomously, or in conjunction with the lecture course Introduction to Formal Languages: Applications and Philosophical Questions.
