In recent years, the study of formal semantics and formal
pragmatics has grown tremendously, showing that core aspects of
language meaning can be explained by a few principles. These
principles are grounded in the logic that is behind - and tightly
intertwined with - the grammar of human language. In this book,
some of the most prominent figures in linguistics, including Noam
Chomsky and Barbara H. Partee, offer new insights into the nature
of linguistic meaning and pave the way for the further development
of formal semantics and formal pragmatics. Each chapter
investigates various dimensions in which the logical nature of
human language manifests itself within a language and/or across
languages. Phenomena like bare plurals, free choice items, scalar
implicatures, intervention effects, and logical operators are
investigated in depth and at times cross-linguistically and/or
experimentally. This volume will be of interest to scholars working
within the fields of semantics, pragmatics, language acquisition
and psycholinguistics.
