STUDIES IN THE GRAMMAR AND SEMANTICS OF ENGLISH

Abstract

The major portion of the paper is concerned with the definitions of semantic properties and relations, and with the manner in which the meanings of expressions and of whole sentences are to be represented. It deals with these problems by studying a special case of expressions that are converses of each other such as 'John bought a book from Bill - Bill sold a book to John' which have recently been widely discussed.
