Abstract:
This book takes concepts developed by researchers in theoretical computer
science and adapts and applies them to the study of natural language meaning.
Summarizing more than a decade of research, Chris Barker and Chung-chieh Shan
put forward the Continuation Hypothesis: that the meaning of a natural
language expression can depend on its own continuation. In Part I, the authors
develop a continuation-based theory of scope and quantificational binding and
provide an explanation for order sensitivity in scope-related phenomena such
as scope ambiguity, crossover, superiority, reconstruction, negative polarity
licensing, dynamic anaphora, and donkey anaphora. Part II outlines an
innovative substructural logic for reasoning about continuations and proposes
an analysis of the compositional semantics of adjectives such as 'same' in
terms of parasitic and recursive scope. It also shows that certain cases of
ellipsis should be treated as anaphora to a continuation, leading to a new
explanation for a subtype of sluicing known as sprouting.
