This volume presents articles that focus on the application of
formal models in the study of language in a variety of innovative
ways, and is dedicated to Jacques Moeschler, professor at
University of Geneva, to mark the occasion of his 60th birthday.
The contributions, by seasoned and budding linguists of all
different linguistic backgrounds, reflect Jacques Moeschler's
diverse and visionary research over the years. The book contains
three parts. The first part shows how different formal models can
be applied to the analysis of such diverse problems as the syntax,
semantics and pragmatics of tense, aspect and deictic expressions,
syntax and pragmatics of quantifiers and semantics and pragmatics
of connectives and negation. The second part presents the
application of formal models to the treatment of cognitive issues
related to the use of language, and in particular, demonstrating
cognitive accounts of different types of human interactions, the
context in utterance interpretation (salience, inferential
comprehension processes), figurative uses of language (irony
pretence), the role of syntax in Theory of Mind in autism and the
analysis of the aesthetics of nature. Finally, the third part
addresses computational and corpus-based approaches to natural
language for investigating language variation, language universals
and discourse related issues. This volume will be of great interest
to syntacticians, pragmaticians, computer scientists, semanticians
and psycholinguists.
