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.
