Lucas Champollion

Parts of a Whole

Distributivity as a Bridge Between Aspect and Measurement

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses mathematical models of language to explain why there are certain gaps in language: things that we might expect to be able to say but can't. Lucas Champollion offers a theory that unifies the concepts of aspect, plural and mass reference, measurement, and distributivity, to account for these gaps.
