Logic in Grammar: Polarity, Free Choice, and Intervention - Oxford Studies in Semantics and Pragmatics
Chierchia, Gennaro (Haas Foundations Professor of Linguistics, Harvard University)
In a fundamental investigation of language and human reasoning, Gennaro Chierchia looks at how syntactic and inferential processes interact through the study of polarity sensitive and free choice items. He reformulates the semantics of focus and scope and the pragmatics of implicature as part of the recursive semantic system.
