Propositional attitude reports are sentences built around
clause-embedding psychological verbs, like Kim believes that it's
raining or Kim wants it to rain. These interact in many intricate
ways with a wide variety of semantically relevant grammatical
phenomena, and represent one of the most important topics at the
interface of linguistics and philosophy, as their study provides
insight into foundational questions about meaning. This book
provides a bird's-eye overview of the grammar of propositional
attitude reports, synthesizing the key facts, theories, and open
problems in their analysis. Couched in the theoretical framework of
generative grammar and compositional truth-conditional semantics,
it places emphasis on points of intersection between propositional
attitude reports and other important topics in semantic and
syntactic theory. With discussion points, suggestions for further
reading and a useful guide to symbols and conventions, it will be
welcomed by students and researchers wishing to explore this
fertile area of study.
