Description

This scholarly work bridges generative semantics and Montague's formal framework for analysing natural language meaning. Written for linguists and philosophers, the book combines the methodology of the generative semantics school with Montague's rigorously formalized approach to syntax and semantic analysis, grounding meaning in truth conditions and denotation with respect to a model. Part of the Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy series from Springer, this volume 7 offers a comprehensive program for researching word semantics that demonstrates why synthesising these two influential traditions yields powerful insights into how verbs and temporal expressions convey meaning in natural languages. The work explores both linguistic and philosophical perspectives on semantic theory, making it essential reading for advanced students and researchers in theoretical linguistics, philosophy of language, and formal semantics.

Key Features

Combines generative semantics methodology with Montague's formalized syntactic and semantic framework for natural language analysis.

Grounds semantic analysis in truth conditions and denotation with respect to a model as fundamental notions.

Focuses on word semantics of verbs and times within the PTQ framework developed by Richard Montague.

Part of the Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy series (volume 7) published by Springer.

Addresses both linguistic and philosophical perspectives on meaning and semantic theory in generative linguistics.

Develops a comprehensive research program demonstrating the synthesis of major twentieth-century approaches to semantics.
