This book provides a systematic study of three foundational issues
in the semantics of natural language that have been relatively
neglected in the past few decades.
- focuses on the formal characterization of intensions, the
nature of an adequate type system for natural language semantics,
and the formal power of the semantic representation language
- proposes a theory that offers a promising framework for
developing a computational semantic system sufficiently expressive
to capture the properties of natural language meaning while
remaining computationally tractable
- written by two leading researchers and of interest to students and researchers in formal semantics, computational linguistics, logic, artificial intelligence, and the philosophy of language
