Springer - Word Meaning and Montague Grammar (Studies in Linguistics)

Explore the intersection of linguistic semantics and formal logic with Word Meaning and Montague Grammar. This volume, part of the Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy series, offers a comprehensive research program in word semantics. It brings together the methodology of the generative semantics school with the rigorous syntactic and semantic framework established by Richard Montague and his associates. By focusing on truth and denotation with respect to a model as fundamental semantic notions, this book provides a unique synthesis for both linguists and philosophers. It addresses the complexities of how verbs and times are analyzed within generative semantics and Montague's PTQ. Whether you are studying natural language analysis or formal semantic frameworks, this text provides the theoretical depth required to understand the relationship between linguistic structure and meaning.
