The Logical Grammar of Abelard (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on Abelard's logical-grammatical analysis of natural language. Tools of modern categorial grammar are employed to clarify many of the problems raised by historiography. The book's ample analysis of grammatical sources and critical literature allows one to evaluate the progress which is at the basis of the forthcoming terministic logic. The book is aimed at scholars of medieval philosophy and historians of logic and linguistics.
