Syntax and Semantics of Prepositions - Softcover

Review

From the reviews:

"The base of the book is a workshop on the syntax and semantics of prepositions, organized in Toulouse in 2003. The book is an argument of the statement that: prepositions are a useful category of language, closely related to semantics structures, are essential in many applications, are taken into account in machine translation and lexical choice in language generation. a ] The book is readable, valuable for novices in the field, and for students and researchers also." (E. Kostolanksky, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006)

From the Back Cover

This book is the first to provide an integrated view of preposition from morphology to reasoning, via syntax and semantics. It offers new insights in applied and formal linguistics, and cognitive science. It underlines the importance of prepositions in a number of computational linguistics applications, such as information retrieval and machine translation. The reader will benefit from a wide range of views and applications to various linguistic frameworks, among which, most notably, HPSG. The book is for researchers working in the fields of computational linguistics, linguistics, and artificial intelligence.
