What is Logic, Language, and Meaning, Volume 2: Intensional Logic and Logical Grammar about?

Although the two volumes of Logic, Language, and Meaning can be used independently of one another, together they provide a comprehensive overview of modern logic as it is used as a tool in the analysis of natural language. Both volumes provide exercises and their solutions. Volume 2, Intensional logic and Logical Grammar , begins with an introduction to the various principles of intensional semantics, and then provides a treatment of various intensional logics, such as modal propositional logic and modal predicate logic, and tense logic. It also introduces type theory, lambda-abstraction, and categorical syntax. Type theory and intensional logic are combined in the well-known intensional type logic employed by Montague. After the necessary technical logical machinery is thus presented, a detailed introduction to Montague Grammar as a specimen of logical grammar follows. The final chapter is dedicated to an introduction of three new developments in logical grammar: the theory of generalized quantifiers, flexible categorical syntax, and discourse representational theory. L. T. F. Gamut is a collective pseudonym for J. F. A. K. van Benthem , J. A. G. Groenendijk , D. H. J. de
