The graduate degree I was supposed to get fron UiO’s insitute for linguistics was in “Språk, logikk og informasjon”: Language, Logic, and Information. It was mostly geared towards studies in AI, but was the closest thing I could find to cognitive science or information architecture at the University of Oslo. I really enjoyed all the logic I took, and I really enjoyed the general linguistics stuff. I especially enjoyed the courses on human-computer interaction and the psychology of judgment and decision-making. I lost it when I took a class in formal semantics, though. That’s the only time in my life I’ve ever failed a class, and I failed it even though I read the textbook and understood the material (in my defense, it’s a lot easier to fail a course in the Norwegian system than in the US system, and I was so sick that I didn’t make it to any lectures). I hated that subject matter with the fire of a thousand suns. My master’s thesis was on prototype theory.
