Editorial Reviews

A contribution to the development of a general theory of meaning, using "mathematical" or Montague semantics, a noncalculative approach concerned with the formal modelling of language. Reviews the necessary mathematics, logic, and linguistics required to understand the treatment; then discusses vagueness and ambiguity, binding theory, pragmatics, categorical grammar, and semantic rules. The examples are all from English, but the construct is intended to be universally applicable. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
