Pieter Seuren argues that the logic of language derives from the lexical meanings of the logical operators. These meanings, however, prove not to be consistent. Seuren solves this problem through an indepth analysis of the functional adequacy of natural predicate logic and standard modern logic for natural linguistic interaction. He then develops a general theory of discourse-bound interpretation, covering discourseincrementation, anaphora, presupposition and topic-comment structure, all of which, the author claims, form the 'cement' of d 410 0$aLanguage From Within, 2 606 $aLanguage and logic 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aSemantics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLanguage and logic. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a401 700 $aSeuren$b Pieter A.
