Elementary set theory accustoms the students to mathematical abstraction, includes the standard constructions of relations, functions, and orderings, and leads to a discussion of the various orders of infinity. The material on logic covers not only t...Daugiau...
This volume explores the compositional semantics of clausal complementation, and proposes a theory in which clause-embedding predicates are uniformly question-oriented, i.e., they take a set of propositions as their semantic argument. This theor...Daugiau...
This volume contains 21 new and original contributions to the study of formal semantics, written by distinguished experts in response to landmark papers in the field. The chapters make the target articles more accessible by providing background, m...Daugiau...

Iceberg semantics is a new framework of Boolean semantics for mass nouns and count nouns in which the interpretation of a noun phrase rises up from a generating base and floats with its base on its Boolean part set, like an i...Daugiau...
This book uncovers properties of focus association with only by examining the interaction between the particle and bare (or evaluative) gradable terms. Its empirical building blocks are paradigms involving upward-scalar terms like few and r...Daugiau...
This volume addresses foundational issues of context-dependence and indexicality, which are at the center of the current debate within the philosophy of language. Topics include the scope of context-dependency, the nature of content and the charac...Daugiau...
This volume sets out to provide a semantics for the future-directed opining verbs, a novel class whose members are used to describe subjects externally attested opinions toward future possibilities. Including verbs like recommend, pro...Daugiau...

This book is a collective volume that reports the state of the art in the applications of type theory to linguistic semantics. The volume fills a 20 year gap from the last published book on the issue and aspires to bring researchers closer to cutting...Daugiau...

This volume on the semantic complexity of natural language explores the question why some sentences are more difficult than others. While doing so, it lays the groundwork for extending semantic theory with computational and cognitive aspects by...Daugiau...
