Flexibility Principles in Boolean Semantics, Volume 37: The Interpretation of Coordination, Plurality, and Scope in Natural Language

More about the book

Focusing on Boolean semantics and generalized quantifier theory, this book presents a new semantic framework for understanding coordination, plurality, and scope in natural languages. It introduces a unique approach that combines Boolean interpretations with choice-function accounts and a novel plural semantics, diverging from traditional distributive/collective distinctions. The text addresses both linguistic and formal questions, making it a comprehensive resource for theoretical linguists while also appealing to those in logic, computational linguistics, and philosophy of language.
