This monograph grew out of research at Xerox PARC and the Center
for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) during the first
year of CSLI's existence. The Center was created as a meeting place
for people from many different research traditions and there was
much interest in seeing how the various approaches could be joined
in a common effort to understand the complexity of language and
information. CSLI was thus an ideal environment for our group and
our enterprise. Our original goal was to see how a well-developed
linguistic the ory, such as lexical-functional grammar, could be
joined with the ideas emerging from research in situation semantics
in a manner which would measure up to the technical standards set
by Montague grammar. The outcome was our notion of situation
schemata and the extension of constraint-based grammar formalisms
to deal with semantic as well as syntactic information. As our work
progressed we widened our approach. We decided to also include a
detailed study of the logic of situation theory, and to investigate
how this logical theory is related to the relational theory of
meaning developed in situation semantics."
