Addressing a wide range of questions vital for contemporary debates in logic and philosophy of language and offering new tools for theoretical linguistics and knowledge representation, the book proposes a radically new paradigm in modal semantics. This framework is motivated philosophically, viewing a structure of world lines as a precondition of modal talk. The author provides a uniform analysis of quantification over individuals (physical objects) and objects of thought (intentional objects). The semantic account of what it means to speak of intentional objects throws new light on accounts of intentionality and singular thought in the philosophy of mind and offers novel insights into the semantics of intensional transitive verbs. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Cross-world Identity; First-order Modal Logic; Intentional Verbs; Modal Semantics; Mode of Individuation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53119-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-85067-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-53119-9Series ISSN 2214-9775 Series E-ISSN 2214-9783 | issn_series | 2214-9775 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
