Meaning, Logic and Ludics PDF
By:Alain Lecomte
Published on 2011-03-22 by World Scientific

This book presents several recent advances in natural language semantics and explores the boundaries between syntax and semantics over the last two decades. It is based on some of the most recent theories in logic, such as linear logic and ludics, first created by Jean-Yves Girard, and it also provides some sharp analyses of computational semantical representations, explaining advanced theories in theoretical computer sciences, such as the lambda–mu and Lambek–Grishin calculi which were applied by Philippe de Groote and Michael Moortgat. The author also looks at Aarne Ranta's ‘proof as meaning’ approach, which was first based on Martin–Löf's Type Theory. Meaning, Logic and Ludics surveys the many solutions which have been proposed for the syntax–semantics interface, taking into account the specifications of linguistic signs (continuous or discontinuous) and the fundamental mechanisms developed by linguists and notable Generativists. This pioneering publication also presents ludics (in a chapter co-authored with Myriam Quatrini), a framework which allows us to characterize meaning as an invariant with regard to interaction between processes. It is an excellent book for advanced students, and academics alike, in the field of computational linguistics.

Keywords:Natural Language;Semantics;Logic for Language;Ludics and Applications;Continuation Theory;Proof Theory and Natural Language;Linear Logic and ApplicationsKey Features:The first didactic presentation of LudicsThe first applications of Ludics to this topicThe first didactic presentation of the use of continuationsOffers well-supported philosophical viewpoint on topicsReviews:“This book presents a large part of the ongoing research on linguistics and proof theory, as developed by the author and also by some other researchers. The very interesting content, previously unavailable in book form, is made intuitive and pleasant to read. Linguists, who are familiar with the questions but not their formal treatment, will enjoy the book, especially the linguistically oriented explanations on logical systems. Logicians, and especially proof theorists, will be convinced of the relevance of their domain to natural language semantics, and at the same time, they will be offered a gentle introduction to some active topics in linguistic research.”Mathematical Reviews
