Book Description | Indefinites and the Type of Sets explores a new theory of indefinite noun phrase interpretation and definiteness effects. The book provides an introduction to aspects of the semantics of noun phrases, as well as comparing alternate theories; and, explores a new theory of indefinite noun phrase interpretation and definiteness effects. It is written accessibly by one of the world's most prominent formal semanticists. The book is useful for students and scholars in formal semantics as well as the neighboring fields of syntax, pragmatics, and the philosophy of language. |
Editorial Review | An impressive contribution to the study of definiteness effects in natural language, empirically rich and theoretically stimulating. Fred Landman's style is uniquely engaging - he makes hardcore linguistics fun to read! Veneeta Dayal, Rutgers University "Some people might think that everything has been said about the semantics of indefinites. Landman's book proves the opposite. It contains a wealth of new ideas and insights about this never-aging topic." Gerhard Jager, University of Potsdam |
