Abstract:

This volume presents articles that focus on the application of formal models
in the study of language in a variety of innovative ways, and is dedicated to
Jacques Moeschler, professor at University of Geneva, to mark the occasion of
his 60th birthday. The contributions, by seasoned and budding linguists of all
different linguistic backgrounds, reflect Jacques Moeschler’s diverse and
visionary research over the years. The book contains three parts. The first
part shows how different formal models can be applied to the analysis of such
diverse problems as the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of tense, aspect and
deictic expressions, syntax and pragmatics of quantifiers and semantics and
pragmatics of connectives and negation. The second part presents the
application of formal models to the treatment of cognitive issues related to
the use of language, and in particular, demonstrating cognitive accounts of
different types of human interactions, the context in utterance interpretation
(salience, inferential comprehension processes), figurative uses of language
(irony pretence), the role of syntax in Theory of Mind in autism and the
analysis of the aesthetics of nature. Finally, the third part addresses
computational and corpus-based approaches to natural language for
investigating language variation, language universals and discourse related
issues. This volume will be of great interest to syntacticians, pragmaticians,
computer scientists, semanticians and psycholinguists.
