Synopsis
Linguists have realized for some time that predicates of the 'know' and 'wonder' classes behave differently in semantic terms with respect to their interrogative complements, but have not so far fully understood how or why. This book seeks to explore and to provide solutions to this and to related problems in explaining the meaning and grammar of embedded interrogatives and the predicates that take interrogative complements (indirect questions and how they are answered).

About the Author
Utpal Lahiri is Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics, University of California, Irvine. Having obtained his doctorate from MIT in 1991, he was Visiting Lecturer at the University of Connecticut (1992), and Lecturer at MIT (1991-2) before taking up his present position.
Review
`I have never seen anyone walk into such a thicket of formalisms overgrown on so wide a terrain of phenomena and emerge with such a salutary result, with the dragon slain. Along the way is a pageant of smart refutations, elegant formulations, charity towards opponents and some new empirical
discovery. Publication will be an important occasion. The book's simplifying vision of the semantics of interrogatives promises to finally make the subject fit for introductory graduate courses.'
Barry Schein

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Linguists (and others) have realised for some time that predicates of the 'know' and 'wonder' classes behave differently, in semantic terms, with respect to their interrogative complements, but have not so far fully understood how or why. This book seeks to explore and to provide solutions to this and to related problems in explaining the meaning and grammar of embedded interrogatives and the predicates that take interrogative complements. The investigation extendsto the semantics of adverbs of quantification, theories of plurals, and lexical selection. The work is addressed to those working in semantics and to syntacticians concerned withthe constraints that syntactic structure imposes on semantic interpretation. It is at the heart of current research in the syntax-semantics interface. Although some knowledge of formal semantics is assumed, the book has been written to be accessible to researchers in computer science, philosophy, and cognitive science. Linguists have realised that predicates of the "know" and "wonder" classes behave differently in semantic terms with respect to their interrogative complements, but have not so far fully understood how or why. This book seeks to explore and to provide solutions to this and to related problems. This item is printed on demand.
