Description

Explore the deep connections between language and logic with Logic and Lexicon: The Semantics of the Indefinite. As part of the Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy series, this monograph offers a detailed survey of ambiguity and vagueness within natural language. It addresses the essential property of semantic underspecification, providing a foundation for understanding how meaning is constructed. The text examines major theories of semantic indefiniteness found across the fields of linguistics, philosophy, and computer science. By viewing indefiniteness as the potential for further contextual specification, the book proposes a unified logical treatment for these complex phenomena. This work is a valuable resource for scholars studying the inherent inconsistency of natural language caused by irreducible imprecision. Whether you are researching linguistic theory or logical frameworks, this Springer publication provides a rigorous analysis of how language functions when meaning remains open to interpretation.
