Everything That Linguists Have Always Wanted to Know about Logic . . . But Were Ashamed to Ask

by James D. McCawley

Book Overview

McCawley supplements his earlier book--which covers such topics as presuppositional logic, the logic of mass terms and nonstandard quantifiers, and fuzzy logic--with new material on the logic of conditional sentences, linguistic applications of type theory, Anil Gupta's work on principles of identity, and the generalized quantifier approach to the logical properties of determiners.
