This collection of papers stems originally from a conference on
Property Theory, Type Theory and Semantics held in Amherst on March
13-16 1986. The conference brought together logicians,
philosophers, com puter scientists and linguists who had been
working on these issues (of ten in isolation from one another). Our
intent was to boost debate and exchange of ideas on these
fundamental issues at a time of rapid change in semantics and
cognitive science. The papers published in this work have evolved
substantially since their original presentation at the conference.
Given their scope, we thought it convenient to divide the work into
two volumes. The first deals primarily with logical and
philosophical foundations, the second with more empirical semantic
issues. While there is a common set of issues tying the two volumes
together, they are both self-contained and can be read
independently of one another. Two of the papers in the present
collection (van Benthem in volume 1 and Chierchia in volume II)
were not actually read at the conference. They are nevertheless
included here for their direct relevance to the topics of the
volumes. Regrettably, some of the papers that were presented
(Feferman, Klein, and Plotkin) could not be included in the present
work due to timing problems. We nevertheless thank the authors for
their contribu tion in terms of ideas and participation in the
debate."
