Overview

This volume is devoted to the mathematical foundations of categorial grammar - including type-theoretic foundations of mathematics, grammatical categories and other topics related to categorial grammar - and to philosophical and linguistic applications of this framework. The volume consists of three parts. The first, introductory part, contains the editors' addresses and two survey chapters concerning the history (W. Marciszewski) and current trends of the discipline (J. van Bentham). The second part consists of ten chapters devoted to categorial grammar proper and the third part, seven chapters devoted to areas close to categorial grammar. Most of the contributions are original papers, but five of them are reprints of classics (M.J. Cresswell, P.T. Geach, H. Hiz, J. Lambek, T. Potts).
