Quantifiers and Cognition: Logical and Computational Perspectives de Jakub Szymanik

Quantifiers and Cognition: Logical and Computational Perspectives: Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy, cartea 96

Autor Jakub Szymanik
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mar 2016
This volume on the semantic complexity of natural language explores the question why some sentences are more difficult than others. While doing so, it lays the groundwork for extending semantic theory with computational and cognitive aspects by combining linguistics and logic with computations and cognition. 

Quantifier expressions occur whenever we describe the world and communicate about it. Generalized quantifier theory is therefore one of the basic tools of linguistics today, studying the possible meanings and the inferential power of quantifier expressions by logical means. The classic version was developed in the 1980s, at the interface of linguistics, mathematics and philosophy. Before this volume, advances in "classic" generalized quantifier theory mainly focused on logical questions and their applications to linguistics, this volume adds a computational component, the third pillar of language use and logical activity. This book is essential reading for researchers in linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, logic, AI, and computer science.

Recenzii

“Jakub Szymanik has produced an important new book, Quantifiers and Cognition: Logical and Computational Perspectives … which returns logic to center stage in an important area of human cognitive studies, where the psychology and neuroscience of language, number and reasoning intersect and interact. … the book is a valuable source of new results for the theoretician, and a gold mine for the experimenter.” (Giosue Baggio and Heming Strømholt Bremnes, Studia Logica, Vol. 105, 2017)
