Description

Explore the complex world of sentence meaning with The Linguistic Description of Opaque Contexts. Published as part of the Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics, this academic work examines how the meaning of complex sentences is built from their constituent parts. This book focuses on the study of opacity, a field that examines how the compositional principles of phrases, words, and clauses work together. The text presents a central argument regarding the systematic ambiguity found within opaque constructions, suggesting that this aspect of linguistics has been underestimated in previous studies. Designed for students and researchers in the field of general linguistics, this volume provides a deep look into the structural and semantic patterns that define how we interpret language. It is an essential resource for those studying grammar, structure, and syntax, offering a detailed perspective on the rules that govern linguistic composition.

Examines the compositional principles that determine how meaning is built from constituent clauses, phrases, and words.

Analyzes the systematic ambiguity of opaque constructions to provide a deeper understanding of linguistic patterns.

Offers a detailed study of opacity within the broader context of general linguistic programs and sentence meaning.
