Course unit content

<br />Logic (advanced course): Categorial Grammars<br /> <br />In approaching Montague grammar, we refer particularly to The Proper treatment of Quantification in Ordinary English. The focus of the course is: 1) the distinction between “formal” and “material” meaning of syntactic types; 2) the concept of syntactic analysis tree. These aspects are dealt with in Montague and in contemporary categorical grammar. In the second part of the course we consider different approaches to syntactic types. For instance, in Lambek grammar the objects of a certain category are seen as “material” meanings of the syntactic types, whereas the corresponding objects of the SEMANTIC (meant as a category) constitute the “formal” counterparts.<br /><br /><br />
