Logic, Language, and Meaning, Volume 1 - L. T. F. Gamut - Bog

This volume contains a survey of such topics as definite descriptions, restricted quantification, second-order logic, and many-valued logic. The pragmatic approach to non-truthconditional and conventional implicatures are also discussed. Finally, the relation between logic and formal syntax is treated, and the notions of rewrite rule, automaton, grammatical complexity, and language hierarchy are explained.
