Beschreibung
This volume represents the state of the art in the applications of type theory to linguistic semantics. The volume fills a 20 year gap from the last published book on the issue and brings researchers closer to cutting edge alternatives in formal semantics research. It offers new work by key researchers on various issues related to the type theoretical study of formal semantics and further exemplifies the advantages of using modern type theoretical approaches to linguistic semantics. Themes include modern developments of type theories in formal semantics, foundational issues in linguistic semantics like anaphora, modality and plurals, innovative interdisciplinary research such as the introduction of probability theory to type theories as well as computational implementations of type theoretical approaches. This volume will be of great interest to formal semanticists that are looking for alternative ways to study linguistic semantics, but will also be of interest to theoretical computer scientists and mathematicians that are interested in the applications of type theory.
