Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book reframes Montague's complex model-theoretic interpretion of intensional logic, showing how it can be related to procedural semantics. Though Montague's system involves infinite sets and functions that fail computability tests, the author demonstrates how it can be implemented by replacing the logic's bottom layer with a set of procedures that preserve computability. The author highlights Montague's significant contribution to the field by showing how the procedural method of knowledge representation can be sharpened in the very area that has caused it the most criticism: the ad hoc nature of its definitions. By replacing the Montague system's bottom layer with a set of procedures that preserve computability, the author demonstrates that the research in Montague grammar is compatible with research in procedural semantics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
