Synopsis

This volume recasts the influential work of Barbara H. Partee in light of new studies surrounding the semantics of quantification and reference in natural language. The papers examine cutting-edge issues in formal semantics and pragmatics. With topics ranging from the fundamental issues of compositionality and information structure to the analysis of tense and aspect, "Reference and Quantification" is both an excellent discussion of Partee's work and a thorough overview of developments in current semantics research.
