D. Lewis on Grammar - Dictionary of Arguments
II 220 Grammar/Lewis: The meanings of the constituents are determined by the truth conditions of whole sentences. II 218 Grammar/Lewis: like a language, set-theoretical entity that can be discussed in complete abstraction of the human practice - clearly generates a language. II 219 Gavagai: problem: that you can specify several equally good grammars. IV 191ff Categorical Grammar/Adjukiewicz/Lewis: (1950s): Categories: names, sentences, generic names - context-free phrase structure rules - lexicon alone specified - proper names are distinguished from NP - both may be a subject, but only names may be object - allows undue iteration of >modal operators. - Vs: transformational grammar: new: simple >phrase structure grammar as a basis, eliminates the weaknesses. IV 194 Phrase structure grammar/Lewis: Meaning: is then determined through the base structure (phrase structure grammar) - i.e. the transformational component is irrelevant to the semantics. Cf. >transformational grammar._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
