About this book

This volume clusters together issues centered upon the variety of types of intensional semantics. Consisting of 10 contributions, the volume is based on papers presented at the Trends in Logic 2019 conference. The various chapters introduce readers to the topic, or apply new types of logical semantics to elucidate subtleties of logical systems and natural language semantics.


The book introduces hyperintentional systems that aim at solving some open philosophical problems. Specifically, the first three studies focus on relating semantics, while the following ones discuss fundamental issues related to hyper-intensional semantics or develop hyper-intensional frameworks to address issues in modal, epistemic, deontic and action logic. Authors in this volume present original results on logical systems but also extend beyond this by offering philosophical considerations on the topic as well. This volume will appeal to students and researchers in the field of logic. 




Reviews

“After reading the reviewed book, readers may find that it presents relating semantics as an interesting and novel trend in fine-grained semantics. … The book raises thought-provoking questions by offering an insightful overview of the current state of fine-grained semantics. By contrasting the established trends with the emerging idea of relating semantics, the book shows that the field of hyperintensional semantics is still evolving and capable of producing novel approaches to long-standing problems.” (A. Parol, Studia Logica, Vol. 111 (6), 2023)
