Semantic Syntax: Second Revised Edition
ISBN: 9789004353527 / Angielski / Twarda / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a detailed formal machinery for the conversion of the Semantic Analyses (SAs) of sentences into surface structures of English, French, German, Dutch, and to some extent Turkish. The SAs are propositional structures consisting of a predicate and one, two or three argument terms, some of which can themselves be propositional structures.

ISBN: 9789004359567 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Narrow Content
ISBN: 9780198785965 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can there be 'narrow' mental content, that is entirely determined by the goings-on inside the head of the thinker?
