- focuses on the formal characterization of intensions, the nature of an adequate type system for natural language semantics, and the formal power of the semantic representation language
- proposes a theory that offers a promising framework for developing a computational semantic system sufficiently expressive to capture the properties of natural language meaning while remaining computationally tractable
- written by two leading researchers and of interest to students and researchers in formal semantics, computational ... Read more

Reviews for Foundations of Intensional Semantics
"The book is a must reading for any semanticist who has ever asked herself what intensions actually are." The Linguist List “Fox and Lappin present a new solution to one of the long-standing issues in formal semantics: how to distinguish logically equivalent from semantically equivalent propositions. This is a valuable contribution to the foundations of formal semantics of natural ... Read more
