This book is a collection of studies applying game-theoretical
concepts and ideas to analysing the semantics of natural language
and some formal languages. The bulk of the book consists of several
papers by Hintikka, Carlson and Saarinen and discusses several of
the central problems of the semantics of natural language.
The topics covered are the semantics of natural language
quantifiers, conditionals, pronouns and anaphora more generally.
Hintikkaa (TM)s famous essay presenting examples of a ~branching
quantifier structuresa (TM) in English, as well as one formulating
his a ~any-every thesisa (TM), are included. The book also includes
Hintikkaa (TM)s closely argued philosophical discussion of the
relationships between the new semantical games with the language
games of Wittgenstein. Other papers apply the game-theoretical
approach to formal languages including tense logics and tense
anaphora (Saarinen), deontic logic and Rossa (TM) paradox
(Hintikka), and usual predicate logic (Rantala). The latter amounts
to an explication of the a ~impossible possiblea (TM) worlds as is
shown in Hintikkaa (TM)s concluding paper.
