商品描述
An introduction to natural language semantics that offers an overview of the empirical domain and an explanation of the mathematical concepts that underpin the discipline.
This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of those approaches to natural language semantics that use the insights of logic. Many other texts on the subject focus on presenting a particular theory of natural language semantics. This text instead offers an overview of the empirical domain (drawn largely from standard descriptive grammars of English) as well as the mathematical tools that are applied to it. Readers are shown where the concepts of logic apply, where they fail to apply, and where they might apply, if suitably adjusted.
The presentation of logic is completely self-contained, with concepts of logic used in the book presented in all the necessary detail. This includes propositional logic, first order predicate logic, generalized quantifier theory, and the Lambek and Lambda calculi. The chapters on logic are paired with chapters on English grammar. For example, the chapter on propositional logic is paired with a chapter on the grammar of coordination and subordination of English clauses; the chapter on predicate logic is paired with a chapter on the grammar of simple, independent English clauses; and so on.
The book includes more than five hundred exercises, not only for the mathematical concepts introduced, but also for their application to the analysis of natural language. The latter exercises include some aimed at helping the reader to understand how to formulate and test hypotheses.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書介紹自然語言語義學,提供了實證領域的概述以及支撐該學科的數學概念的解釋。
這本教科書全面介紹了那些利用邏輯洞見的自然語言語義學方法的基本原理。許多其他關於該主題的書籍專注於呈現特定的自然語言語義學理論,而本書則提供了實證領域的概述(主要來自標準的英語描述性語法)以及應用於該領域的數學工具。讀者將了解到邏輯概念的適用範圍、失效範圍以及在適當調整後可能的適用範圍。
邏輯的呈現是完全自足的,書中使用的邏輯概念都以必要的細節進行了介紹。這包括命題邏輯、一階謂詞邏輯、廣義量詞理論,以及Lambek和Lambda演算。邏輯章節與英語語法章節相配對。例如,命題邏輯的章節與英語子句的協調和從屬語法章節相配對;謂詞邏輯的章節與簡單獨立英語子句的語法章節相配對;等等。
本書包含超過五百個練習題,不僅針對所介紹的數學概念,還包括其在自然語言分析中的應用。後者的練習題包括一些旨在幫助讀者理解如何制定和測試假設的題目。
