At last a book on natural language semantics that tackles semantics all the way up to texts of considerable length and fictional statements. The proposed formalism brings together well tried solutions for specific linguistic phenomena with a structural approach based on programming languages that makes it user friendly and gives it tremendous expressive power. A very useful contribution for natural language generation and the representation of narrative. -- Pablo Gervas, Associate Professor, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain 20121030 Semantic Representations of Natural Language provides a highly suggestive survey of the multiple relationships between semantic analysis and computational formalization of natural language and narratives, offering a vivid, nearly kaleidoscopic, theoretically comprehensive and strongly argued synthesis of a long lasting team approach. Even literature researchers concerned with the digital analysis of textuality will read this monograph with the greatest interest. -- Jean-Pierre Dubost, Emeritus Professor, Universite Blaise Pascal, France 20121030 Genuine interdisciplinary research between linguistics, literary studies and computational approaches is rare. The research detailed here is an example of such interdisciplinary collaboration at its best. Technical, but enjoyable, this is a book to be read and thought about as it opens many new vistas. -- Geoffrey Williams, Professor, Universite De Bretagne-Sud, France 20121030
