Abstract:

The contributions collected in this voume address central topics in
theoretical and computational linguistics, such as quantification, types of
context dependence and aspects concerning the formalisation of major
grammatical frameworks, among others GB, DRT and HPSG.

All contributions have in common a strong preference for logic as the major
tool of analysis. The first main issue concerns the combination of DRT and
HPSG styles of analysis into a single system for natural language
processing. The second central issue concerns the logical and automata -
theoretical foundations of descriptive formalisms presently in the focus of
attention, for instance minimalism. A third issue is the significance of
context and locality within an algorithmic notion of meaning. The last
topic addressed concerns subclasses of empirically highly significant
quantificational devices like proportionality quantifiers and quantifiers
which give rise to sound and complete logics for non-trivial fragments of
English.

The volume will be of great benefit for theoretical and computational
linguists, computer scientists, philosophers, and logicians.
