From Utterances to Speech Acts

By Mikhail Kissine

"Kissine offers a new theory of speech acts which is philosophically sophisticated and builds on work in cognitive science, formal semantics, and linguistic typology. This highly readable, brilliant essay is a major contribution to the field."

--François Recanati, Institut Jean-Nicod

Title: Quantifiers in Language and Logic
Written By: Stanley Peters
Dag Westerståhl
URL: http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780199291250
Description:

Quantification is a topic which brings together linguistics, logic, and philosophy. Quantifiers are the essential tools with which, in language or logic, we refer to quantity of things or amount of stuff. In English they include such expressions as 'no,' 'some,' 'all,' 'both,' and 'many.' Peters and Westerståhl present the definitive interdisciplinary exploration of how they work - their syntax, semantics, and inferential role.
