Klappentext zu „The Mathematics of Language “
This book studies language(s) and linguistic theories from a mathematical point of view. Starting with ideas already contained in Montague's work, it develops the mathematical foundations of present day linguistics. It equips the reader with all the background necessary to understand and evaluate theories as diverse as Montague Grammar, Categorial Grammar, HPSG and GB. The mathematical tools are mainly from universal algebra and logic, but no particular knowledge is presupposed beyond a certain mathematical sophistication that is in any case needed in order to fruitfully work within these theories. The presentation focuses on abstract mathematical structures and their computational properties, but plenty of examples from different natural languages are provided to illustrate the main concepts and results. In contrast to books devoted to so-called formal language theory, languages are seen here as semiotic systems, that is, as systems of signs. A language sign correlates form with meaning. Using the principle of compositionality it is possible to gain substantial insight into the interaction between form and meaning in natural languages.

Rezension zu „The Mathematics of Language “
"Als Fazit bleibt somit: ein anspruchsvolles und schwieriges Buch, das jeder theoretische Linguist bzw. an nat rlichen Sprachen interessierte Mathematiker mit Gewinn lesen wird und das folglich die M he der Auseinandersetzung mit den ben tigten Formalismen lohnt." - Carsten Naeher in: Zeitschrift f r Sprachwissenschaft, 24, 2005.
