为自然语言推测了一种形式语义(以下简称“单类型语义”),以相同的语义类型解释cp和参考dp:情况的属性。Partee语义学与Montague语义学及其最近的竞争者(称为双或多类型语义学)形成对比,后者为指称dp(即个体)和cp(即命题、真值或赋值函数集)的语义值假定不同的基本类型。事件语义学和话语表征理论的结果支持命题和个体之间的间接单向可转移性。然而,这些结果都不支持个体和命题类型的同一性。我们的论文改进了party对单类型语义的支持的强度和范围。特别是,它为采用单一类型语义确定了一些新的论点,这些论点显示了这种语义更大的统一性和解释力。这些论点是基于单一类型语义提供DP和cp之间分布相似性的统一描述,解释DP片段的真值可评估性,以及捕获cp和参考DP之间的语义包含关系的能力。为了进一步支持单类型语义,我们针对一些反对意见为其辩护。
conjectures a formal semantics for natural language (hereafter,single-type semantics) that interprets CPs and referential DPs inthe samesemantic type: properties of situations. Partee’s semantics contrasts with Montague semantics and its recent contenders (dubbeddual-ormulti-type semantics) which assume distinct basic types for the semantic values of referential DPs (i.e. individuals) and CPs (i.e. propositions, truth-values, or sets of assignment functions). Partee’s conjecture is motivated by results in event semantics and discourse representation theory, which support the indirect uni-directional shiftability between propositions and individuals. However, none of these results supports theidentityof the types for individuals and propositions. Our paper improves upon the strength and scope of Partee’s support for single-type semantics. In particular, it identifies a number of new arguments for the adoption of single-type semantics which display this semantics’ greater unificatory and explanatory power. These arguments are based on the ability of single-type semantics to provide a uniform account of the distributional similarities between DPs and CPs, to explain the truth-evaluability of DP fragments, and to capture semantic inclusion relations between CPs and referential DPs. To further support single-type semantics, we defend it against a number of objections.
