Abstract:

Propositional attitude reports are sentences built around clause-embedding
psychological verbs, like Kim believes that it's raining or Kim wants it to
rain. These interact in many intricate ways with a wide variety of
semantically relevant grammatical phenomena, and represent one of the most
important topics at the interface of linguistics and philosophy, as their
study provides insight into foundational questions about meaning. This book
provides a bird's-eye overview of the grammar of propositional attitude
reports, synthesizing the key facts, theories, and open problems in their
analysis. Couched in the theoretical framework of generative grammar and
compositional truth-conditional semantics, it places emphasis on points of
intersection between propositional attitude reports and other important topics
in semantic and syntactic theory. With discussion points, suggestions for
further reading and a useful guide to symbols and conventions, it will be
welcomed by students and researchers wishing to explore this fertile area of
study.
