Drawing from a wide range of perspectives in the analysis of grammatical structures, the papers collected in this book are unified not by linguistic subfield, but by the investigative method they employ in revealing grammatical patterns.

This volume contains essays covering a range of issues related to Frege and his work. It discusses topics either in a Fregean spirit or in a dialogue with Frege's original views. Key papers concern themes within the common ground in which ontology and philosophical semantics intersect.

Focuses on the relationships between linguistic insights and language technology. In this volume, contributors offer perspectives on semantic representations for textual inference.

There are multitudes of ways in which predicative constructions can be analyzed. The author differentiates between the Fregean and Montagovian treatments of these constructions in order to better understand predicative constructions as a grammatical model.

Japanese and Korean are typologically similar, with linguistic phenomena in one often having counterparts in the other. This volume features essays on the phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics of both languages.

Explores Japanese morphology and syntactic analysis, discourse, and natural language process applications. This book presents such techniques in a manner accessible to those with little or no familiarity with Japanese. It also features papers that may broaden the scope of our study of Japanese linguistic phenomena.

During his long career, Patrick Suppes has contributed significantly both to the sciences and to scientific philosophies. In this volume, an international group of Suppes' colleagues and collaborators builds upon his insights. It explores a range of topics, from the relationship between science and philosophy.

This volume tackles the slippery subject of 'meaning'.

This volume explores the intersubjective and social dimensions of self-deception.

This text asserts that grammatical relations such as subject and object are syntactic notions, and must be identified on the basis of syntactic properties, rather than by semantic roles or discourse functions. It uses data from Tagalog to test the theories on subjecthood that have been put forth.

Finding a particular scientific document amid thousands of other documents can often seem like an insurmountable task. This book shows how linguistic theory can provide a solution by analyzing rhetorical structures to make information retrieval easier and faster. It applies empirical discourse studies to pressing issues of document management.

Including papers that were inspired by the linguistics career of Ivan A Sag (1949-2013), this title is written to commemorate his many contributions to the field. It tackles a range of grammar-related issues and shares the perspective that the best theories of grammar attempt to account for the full diversity and complexity of language data.

In Modal Logic for Open Minds, Johan van Benthem provides an up-to-date introduction to the field of modal logic, outlining its major ideas and exploring the numerous ways in which various academic fields have adopted it. Van Benthem begins with the basic theories of modal logic, semantics, bisimulation, and axiomatics, and also covers more advanced topics, such as expressive power and computational complexity. The book then moves to a wide range of applications, including new developments in information flow, intelligent agency, and games. Taken together, the chapters show modal logic at the crossroads of philosophy, mathematics, linguistics, computer science, and economics. Most of the chapters are followed by exercises, making this volume ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in philosophy, computer science, symbolic systems, cognitive science, and linguistics.

With this textbook, Yehuda N. Falk provides an introduction to the theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar, aimed at both students and professionals who are familiar with other generative theories. Falk examines Lexical-Functional Grammar's relation to more conventional theories.

Japanese and Korean are typologically similar languages, and a linguistic phenomenon in the former often has a counterpart in the latter. In this book, the papers are from the twenty-first Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference, which was held at Seoul National University in October 2011.

As one of the world's most eminent living philosophers, John Perry has covered a remarkable breadth of subjects in his published work. Looking at the way in which he deals with issues of self, communication, and reality, this title is organized in seven chapters that highlight different aspects of his work on the intersection of these subjects.

The philosopher Patrick Suppes has developed a unique and influential approach to studying the foundations of science - he combines an understanding of the main principles of scientific theories in axiomatic terms and formal models with a hands-on approach. This book searches for a common thread in Suppes' multifaceted work.

Provides an analysis of the voting climate and it approaches American elections from technological, legal, and historical perspectives. This title examines the ways Americans vote, gauging how inaccurate, unreliable, and insecure our voting systems are.

The author's seminal publications have earned him a loyal following among scholars and computer scientists. In this volume, he explains and comments on the changes he has made to his work over the years in response to new technologies and the evolving understanding of key concepts in computer science.

Grammatical Framework is a programming language designed for writing grammars that has the capability of addressing several languages in parallel. This title demonstrates how to write grammars in Grammatical Framework and use them in applications such as tourist phrase-books, spoken dialogue systems, and natural language interfaces.

A French translation of seventeen papers by Donald E Knuth on algorithms both in the field of analysis of algorithms and in the design of new algorithms.

Features the papers that cover a range of topics in Japanese/Korean linguistics, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics.

Consists of selected papers from the seventh meeting of the Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language Conference, held at the University of Alberta in October 2004. The papers fall into five main categories, reflecting the cognitive and functional orientation of the conference.
