This book constructs an idealized version of what the author calls syntacticism, a school of thought in the philosophy of logic which is congenial to analytical philosophy, logical positivism, and anti-metaphysical nominalism. It examines in detail both technical metalogical and broad philosophic issues associated with this way of thinking about logic, and specifically addresses anomalies around symbolic expressivity, which is crucial for this approach, with a view to provide both a deeper understanding and a critique. The range of fields and interests addressed include: the philosophy of logic, formal logic and mathematical logic, the analytical school of philosophy, logical positivism and nominalism, parallels between thinking about logic and the formalist school in the philosophy of mathematics, the history of modern logic, Wittgenstein’s Tractatus, Leśniewski’s protothetic, dialogue logic, and combinatorial logic.

This book covers topics in formal linguistics, intonational phonology, computational linguistics, and experimental psycholinguistics, presenting them as an integrated theory of the language faculty. In this book Mark Steedman argues that the surface syntax of natural languages maps spoken and written forms directly to a compositional semantic representation that includes predicate-argument structure, quantification, and information structure without constructing any intervening structural representation. His purpose is to construct a principled theory of natural grammar that is directly compatible with both explanatory linguistic accounts of a number of problematic syntactic phenomena and a straightforward computational account of the way sentences are mapped onto representations of meaning. The radical nature of Steedman's proposal stems from his claim that much of the apparent complexity of syntax, prosody, and processing follows from the lexical specification of the grammar and from the involvement of a small number of universal rule-types for combining predicates and arguments. These syntactic operations are related to the combinators of Combinatory Logic, engendering a much freer definition of derivational constituency than is traditionally assumed. This property allows Combinatory Categorial Grammar to capture elegantly the structure and interpretation of coordination and intonation contour in English as well as some well-known interactions between word order, coordination, and relativization across a number of other languages. It also allows more direct compatibility with incremental semantic interpretation during parsing. The book covers topics in formal linguistics, intonational phonology, computational linguistics, and experimental psycholinguistics, presenting them as an integrated theory of the language faculty in a form accessible to readers from any of those fields.

This is the first exhaustive investigation of gradience in syntax, conceived of as grammatical indeterminacy. It looks at gradience in English word classes, phrases, clauses and constructions, and examines how it may be defined and differentiated. Professor Aarts addresses the tension between linguistic concepts and the continuous phenomena they describe by testing and categorizing grammatical vagueness and indeterminacy. He considers to what extent gradience is a grammatical phenomenon or a by-product of imperfect linguistic description, and makes a series of linked proposals for its theoretical formalization. Bas Aarts draws on, and reviews, work in psychology, philosophy and language from Aristotle to Chomsky., and writes clearly on a fascinating and important aspect of language and cognition. His book will appeal to scholars and graduate students of language and syntactic theory in departments of (English) linguistics, philosophy and cognitive science.

Mathematical Logic In Asia written by Rod G. Downey and has been published by World Scientific this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006 with Mathematics categories.
This volume is devoted to the main areas of mathematical logic and applications to computer science. There are articles on weakly o-minimal theories, algorithmic complexity of relations, models within the computable model theory, hierarchies of randomness tests, computable numberings, and complexity problems of minimal unsatisfiable formulas. The problems of characterization of the deduction-detachment theorem, ?1-induction, completeness of Le?niewski's systems, and reduction calculus for the satisfiability problem are also discussed.The coverage includes the answer to Kanovei's question about the upper bound for the complexity of equivalence relations by convergence at infinity for continuous functions. The volume also gives some applications to computer science such as solving the problems of inductive interference of languages from the full collection of positive examples and some negative data, the effects of random negative data, methods of formal specification and verification on the basis of model theory and multiple-valued logics, interval fuzzy algebraic systems, the problems of information exchange among agents on the base topological structures, and the predictions provided by inductive theories.

This introduction to and overview of the "glue" approach is the first book to bring together the research of the major contributors to the field. A new, deductive approach to the syntax-semantics interface integrates two mature and successful lines of research: logical deduction for semantic composition and the Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) approach to the analysis of linguistic structure. It is often referred to as the "glue" approach because of the role of logic in "gluing" meanings together. The "glue" approach has attracted significant attention from, among others, logicians working in the relatively new and active field of linear logic; linguists interested in a novel deductive approach to the interface between syntax and semantics within a nontransformational, constraint-based syntactic framework; and computational linguists and computer scientists interested in an approach to semantic composition that is grounded in a conceptually simple but powerful computational framework.This introduction to and overview of the "glue" approach is the first book to bring together the research of the major contributors to the field.

The Limits Of Syntactic Variation written by Theresa Biberauer and has been published by John Benjamins Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with Language Arts & Disciplines categories.
Against the background of the past half century s typological and generative work on comparative syntax, this volume brings together 16 papers considering what we have learned and may still be able to learn about the nature and extent of syntactic variation. More specifically, it offers a multi-perspective critique of the Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic variation, evaluating the merits and shortcomings of the pre-Minimalist phase of this enterprise and considering and illustrating the possibilities opened up by recent empirical and theoretical advances. Contributions focus on four central topics: firstly, the question of the locus of variation, whether the attested variation may plausibly be understood in parametric terms and, if so, what form such parameters might take; secondly, the fate of one of the most prominent early parameters, the Null Subject Parameter; thirdly, the matter of parametric clusters more generally; and finally, acquisition issues.
