Reviews
Language and Logics is probably the most comprehensive textbook in Logics and Linguistics to date. One of the many undoubted merits of the book is that the range of logical topics is wide enough to cover all a linguistic student needs to know about logic(s). This book takes the reader well beyond elementary logic... Presents a wealth of logical material in a clear way.--Christian Bassac, Université de Lyon2 ""Cercles"" Logical methods in the study of language have tended to be the preserve of research level literature. In this book Howard Gregory opens the field to the interested student in a steady progression which is both precise and comprehensive, providing a valuable road-map to logical linguistics--Glyn Morrill, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya To sum up, this book is a suitable source for undergraduates (and not only in linguistics) to get a general picture about the field of modern non-classical logics, which can serve as a background for further more advanced readings. The last part of the book is the most relevant to the linguistic issues, handling such topics as substructural logics and categorical grammar. The chapter about combinatorial logic is of especial importance, since it in effect summaries and coordinates the material from the previous chapters.--Yaroslav Shramko, Kryvyi Rih ""Zentralblatt Math""
