Argues that Situation Theory has provided a uniform framework for the investigation of the creative aspects of language use.

A new perspective on phonetic variation is achieved in this volume through the construction of a series of models of spoken American English. The authors argue that assumptions made about the units of spoken language are critical to a computational model.

The Verbmobil System currently under development in Germany would input speech in a source-language dialogue, translate it, and output synthesized speech in a target language, all in real time under the conditions of face-to-face dialogue. This is a study of the field and possible problems.

This volume collects together some of the author's papers on modal logic, including work on the duality between algebraic and set-theoretic modals, on infinitary rules of inference, and on recent results on the relationship between modal logic and first-order logic.

This book develops the notion of an instructable robot.

A discussion of the views on semantic compositionality.

A collection of essays on artificial intelligence, natural language semantics and the philosophy of mind and language.

This book offers a simplified exposition of the author's theory of aspectuality.

This handbook develops a methodology for writing and testing wide coverage, maintainable grammars.

This text develops data oriented parsing models for different linguistic representations ranging form tree representations to compositional semantic representations. In the CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION PUBLICATION LECTURE NOTES series.

An examination of clitics both in Italian and in certain southern Italian dialects which shows their different properties within a single language. The author argues against the existence of a special class clitics whose elements exhibit variable behaviour, decomposing and assimilating their properties to those of well established categories.

This book brings together a collection of papers focusing on the tonal systems of the Bantu languages of sub-Saharan Africa.

A proposal for a new lexical theory of complex predicates.

This book provides a formal characterization of 'strong generative capacity' in linguistic theory.

Contributions from a variety of authors who discuss Tree Adjoining Grammar and its various uses.

This volume explores the potential advantages of database applications to linguistics.

This book translates the propositions of Epictetus's The Master Argument into logical terms.

This text provides a detailed survey and comparison of recent approaches to the logical formalization of feature structures and their description languages in constraint and unification-based grammar formalisms.

Among the philosophers of mind and language in recent decades, Donald Davidson articualted "amomalous monism" as well as ideas for unifying the theory of linguistic meaning with semantics for natural language. This book includes essays on Davidson by his contempories and his own replies.

Papers on the topic of ambiguity and underspecification.

Papers on the topic of ambiguity and under specification.

This collection comprises the most recent innovations in logic, linguistics and computer science.

This volume presents contributions to quanti er theory and its applications and gives a good impression of the depth and diversity of recent work in the eld.

The initial sections of this text deal with syntactical matters such as logical formalism, cut-elimination, and the embedding of intuitionistic logic in classical linear logic. Concluding chapters focus on proofnets for the multiplicative fragment and the algorithmic interpretation of cut-elimination in proofnets.

This text presents semantic and syntactic features of modal logic and illustrates them by analyses of three modal systems S5, S4 and T. The book concentrates on the logical aspects of the subject and provides philosophical motivations to show the point of the formal work.

A collection of papers by leading researchers in modal logic and theoretical computer science.

Presents work that evolved out of the Third Conference on Situation Theory and Its Applications, held at Oiso, Japan, in November of 1991.
