Foundations of Intensional Semantics (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a systematic study of three foundational issues in the semantics of natural language that have been relatively neglected in the past few decades. * focuses on the formal characterization of intensions, the nature of an adequate type system for natural language semantics, and the formal power of the semantic representation language * proposes a theory that offers a promising framework for developing a computational semantic system sufficiently expressive to capture the properties of natural language meaning while remaining computationally tractable * written by two leading researchers and of interest to students and researchers in formal semantics, computational linguistics, logic, artificial intelligence, and the philosophy of language
