Synopsis:
This is a non specialist introduction to substructural logic. This book will take linguistics students beyond the classical logic used in introductory courses into the variety of non standard logics that are commonly used in research. It embraces a wide variety of material, including modal logic, partial logic, situation semantics and the growing area of the substructural logics, starting with simple and intuitive concepts. Prior knowledge of mathematical logic is not required as issues are introduced and discussed in clear and precise English before symbolic notation is introduced. The variety of material is organised around one central thread: the tailoring of logical systems to reasoning about different applications in linguistics and beyond. It does not presuppose any background in logic or mathematics. It is flexible enough to be used for several possible courses. It's self contained: introductory sections give a good grounding in the prerequisites of the course. It also includes suggestions for discussion aimed at more advanced students.
About the Author: Howard Gregory obtained his PhD in linguistics from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, specializing in the interdisciplinary area of Language, Logic and Information. He was Lecturer in the Department of English Linguistics at the University of Göttingen from 2002-2009 and has taught in several countries in Europe and Asia. His research interests include grammatical relations, comparative linguistics, logic programming, ellipsis and dialogue modelling, and linguistic applications of relevance logic.

Paperback. Condition: New. Taking linguistics students beyond the classical forms often taught in introductory courses, Language and Logics offers a comprehensive introduction to the wide variety of useful non-classical logics that are commonly used in research. Including a brief review of classical logic and its major assumptions, this textbook provides a guided tour of modal, many valued and substructural logics. The textbook starts from simple and intuitive concepts, clearly explaining the logics of language for linguistics students who have little previous knowledge of logic or mathematics. Issues are presented and discussed clearly before going on to introduce symbolic notation.While not avoiding technical detail, the book focuses throughout on helping students develop an intuitive understanding of the field, with particular attention to conceptual questions and to the tailoring of logical systems to thinking about different applications in linguistics and beyond. This is an ideal introductory volume for advanced undergraduates and beginning postgraduate students in linguistics, and for those specializing in semantics. Seller Inventory # LU-9780748691630
