    This collection of papers reports our attempt to sketch how Japanese grammar can be represented in a constraint-based formalism. Our first attempt of this nature appeared a decade ago as Japanese Phrase Structure Grammar (Gunji 1987) and in several papers following the publication of the book. This book has evolved from a technical memo that was a progress report on the Japanese phrase structure grammar (JPSG) project, which was conducted as an activity of the JPSG Working Group at ICOT (Institute for New-Generation Computing Technology) from 1984 to 1992. JPSG implements ideas from recent developments in phrase structure grammar formalism, such as head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG), (see Pollard & Sag 1987, 1994) as applied to the Japanese language. The main goal of this project was to state various grammatical regularities exhibited in natural language in general (and in Japanese in particular) as a set of local constraints. The book is organized in two parts. Part I gives an overview of developments in our framework after the publication of Gunji (1987), introducing our fundamental assumptions as well as discussing various aspects of Japanese in the constraint- based formalism and summarizing discussions of the JPSG Working Group during the above-mentioned period. Naturally, in the period after the publication of the above book, our discussion was centered on topics not covered in the book.

  • - Attitudes, Expression, Free Choice, and Negation
    af Melanie Bervoets
    888,95 - 989,95 kr.

    This volume sets out to provide a semantics for the "future-directed opining verbs", a novel class whose members are used to describe subjects' externally attested opinions toward future possibilities.

  • - Perspectives from Philosophy, Linguistics and Logic
     
    1.023,95 kr.

    This volume addresses foundational issues of context-dependence and indexicality, which are at the center of the current debate within the philosophy of language.

  • af Jakub Szymanik
    452,95 - 998,95 kr.

    Before this volume, advances in "classic" generalized quantifier theory mainly focused on logical questions and their applications to linguistics, this volume adds a computational component, the third pillar of language use and logical activity.

  • af Marcus Kracht
    1.221,95 - 1.258,95 kr.

    Since the rise of formal semantics in the 1970s, the issue of 'compositionality' has gained traction in linguistics. This book argues that there exist non-compositional languages. Moreover, syntactic structure can be motivated from the requirement of providing a compositional grammar.

  • af Paul Dekker
    1.125,95 kr.

    The first publication to include a condensed, yet complete treatment of anaphora and modality, this volume's integrated theory combines classical formal semantics and modern dynamic semantics without altering the fundamental linguistic paradigm.

  • af Magdalena Kaufmann
    1.221,95 kr.

    This book offers new perspective on imperative clauses in the study of meaning. Analyzes imperatives in terms of modalized propositions and identifies an additional, presuppositional, meaning component that makes an assertive interpretation inappropriate.

  • - Interval Semantics and Its Rivals
    af M. J. Cresswell
    1.566,95 kr.

    The final chapter (Chapter VII) was written especially for this volume and investigates the question of how the 'situation semantics' recently devised by Jon Barwise and John Perry, as a rival to possible-worlds semantics, might deal with adverbs.

  • - A Scopal Treatment of Exceptional Wide Scope Phenomena
    af Cornelia Ebert
    1.665,95 - 1.692,95 kr.

    Addressing an issue that has puzzled the linguistics community for many years, this detailed book offers a novel approach to the exceptional wide scope behaviour of indefinites. It is the first book explicitly dedicated to exceptional wide scope phenomena.

  • af G.T. Stump
    1.028,95 - 1.221,95 kr.

    These are, of course, issues of great inherent interest to anyone concerned with the formal syntax and semantics of natural language, with the philosophy of language, or with language processing.

  • af Geert-Jan M. Kruijff & Richard T. Oehrle
    715,95 - 754,95 kr.

    But the fact that categorial grammars are type in ference systems makes possible intrinsic connections among syntactic types, syntactic type inference, semantic types, and semantic type inference, a con nection less apparent in the standard constructions of formal language theory.

  • - Its semantic composition and its interactions with temporal adverbials
    af Renate Musan
    1.028,95 - 1.221,95 kr.

    PRESENT PERFECT: Die Eule hat die Schule verlassen. PAST PERFECT: Die Eule hatte die Schule verlassen. FUTURE PERFECT: Die Eule wird die Schule verlassen haben. the owl will the school left have As will shortly become clear, the present perfect is the most intricate of the perfect constructions in German.

  • - Two Applications of Game-Theoretical Semantics
    af Jaakko Hintikka & Jack Kulas
    878,95 - 998,95 kr.

    I also find it strange that some of the same linguists as believe that we all possess innate ideas about general characteristics of humanly possible grammars assume that we can have access to them only via their particular consequences.

  • af Carol Tenny
    1.304,95 - 1.487,95 kr.

    All work is work in progress. The ideas developed in this work could be (and probably will be) developed further, revised, and expanded. I hope that other researchers will take up the challenge to investigate, test and develop these ideas across a wider realm of languages than I --as one person --can do.

  • af Z. Harris
    1.487,95 - 1.554,95 kr.

    Generalization of both of these analyses leads to operator grammar, in which each sentence is derived in a uniform way as a partial ordering of the originally simple words which enter into it: Each step (least upper bound) of the partial ordering (of a word requiring another) forms a sentence which is a component of the sentence being analyzed.

  • af Taisuke Nishigauchi
    1.125,95 - 1.332,95 kr.

    The reader interested in other theoretical frameworks will find the discussion in this book easily translatable in the framework of his or her choice - in fact, I would like to claim that the problems posed by this book are inevitable in any theory of syntax and semantics of natural language.

  • - A Case Study in Modern Irish
    af J. McCloskey
    818,95 - 1.109,95 kr.

    To Ken Hale lowe a particular debt of gratitude - for two years of encour agement and suggestions, and particularly for a set of detailed comments on an earlier version of the book which led to many changes for the better.

  • af M. J. Cresswell
    878,95 - 1.499,95 kr.

    These theories are based on the idea that an essential part of the meaning of a sentence is constituted by the conditions under whieh that sentenee is true. To know what a sentence says is to know what the world would have to be !ike for that sentence to be true.

  • af Edward L. Keenan & L. M. Faltz
    1.332,95 - 1.487,95 kr.

    In the spring of 1978, one of the authors of this book was sitting in on a course in logic for linguists given by the other author.

  • af Victor Raskin
    1.730,95 kr.

    In other words, if a formal semantic analysis of a text yields a certain set of semantic proptrties which the text possesses, then the text is recognized as a joke.

  • af Robert Wall, Barbara B. H. Partee & A. G. Ter Meulen
    3.277,95 - 3.646,95 kr.

    For upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students in theoretical linguistics, computer-science students with interests in computational linguistics, logic programming and artificial intelligence, mathematicians and logicians with interests in linguistics and the semantics of natural language.

  • af R. Wall, S. Peters & D.R. Dowty
    2.520,95 - 2.676,95 kr.

    In this book we hope to acquaint the reader with the fundamentals of truth conditional model-theoretic semantics, and in particular with a version of this developed by Richard Montague in a series of papers published during the 1960's and early 1970's.

  • af R. Cooper
    1.304,95 - 1.487,95 kr.

    The format of this book is unusual, especially for a book about linguistics.

  • - An Approach to Discourse Analysis
    af Lauri Carlson
    1.304,95 - 1.665,95 kr.

    This essay constitutes yet another approach to the fields of inquiry variously known as discourse analysis, discourse grammar, text grammar, functional 1 syntax, or text linguistics.

  • af Fred Landman
    1.304,95 - 1.949,95 kr.

    On the contrary, in my view, very often the essential insight in a diagnosis of what is going on in a certain semantic phenomenon takes place at the informal level. It is very easy, however, to be misled into thinking that a certain informal insight provides a satisfying analysis of a certain problem;

  • af Carlota S. Smith
    2.061,95 - 2.421,95 kr.

    This second edition has been completely revised to include further development of the two-component theory, including new treatments of boundedness, dynamism and a general account of aspectual shifts.

  • af Alice F. Freed
    878,95 - 1.028,95 kr.

    Furthermore, the analysis of these temporal aspectual verbs leads to a description of their complement structures in terms of 'events', a semantic category found to appropriately characterize the quality of most of these structures.
