Essays on Semantics by Hintikka, Carlson, Peacocke, Rantala and Saarinen (Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy)
KORTE INHOUD

Hintikka?s famous essay presenting examples of "branching quantifier structures" in English, as well as one formulating his "any-every thesis", are included. The book also includes Hintikka?s closely argued philosophical discussion of the relationships between the new semantical games with the language games of Wittgenstein. Other papers apply the game-theoretical approach to formal languages including tense logics and tense anaphora (Saarinen), deontic logic and Ross? paradox (Hintikka), and usual predicate logic (Rantala). The latter amounts to an explication ...
