Resource-Sensitivity, Binding and Anaphora (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2003)

The structure and properties of any natural language expression depend on its component sub-expressions - "resources" - and relations among them that are sensitive to basic structural properties of order, grouping, and multiplicity. Resource-sensitivity thus provides a perspective on linguistic structure that is well-defined and universally-applicable. The papers in this collection - by J. van Benthem, P. Jacobson, G. JAger, G-J. Kruijff, G. Morrill, R. Muskens, R. Oehrle, and A. Szabolcsi - examine linguistic resources and resource-sensitivity from a variety of perspectives, including:

- Modal aspects of categorial type inference;
- Multi-dimensional type structures and grammatical architecture;
- Resource-sensitive aspects of binding and anaphora;
- Resource-sensitive inference and discourse context.

In particular, the book contains a number of papers treating anaphorically-dependent expressions as functions, whose application to an appropriate argument yields a type and an interpretation directly integratable with the surrounding grammatical structure. To situate this work in a larger setting, the book contains two appendices:

- an introductory guide to resource-sensivity;
- notes on the historical background of resource-sensitive approaches to binding and anaphora.
