5 To my sons, David and Martin

6 Foreword The vast domain of meaning includes the semantic-pragmatic patterning of the system of language and also issues of language's logical analysis, and of its relationships to cognitive patterns, to knowledge organization, and so on. Up to now, various component parts of this domain have been analyzed, either by linguistic approaches, which connect them with the layers both of syntax and of the lexicon, or by formal methods of logic and inquiries into knowledge representation and other aspects of cognitive science. However, not much has been achieved in the area that concerns one of the most characteristic features of linguistic meaning: the fuzziness of its articulation, its vagueness. In the present book, Vilem Novak attacks the problem of vagueness directly, overcoming disadvantages inherent in most of the theoreticiu approaches to linguistics, which perhaps only state and vaguely discuss the fuzziness of meaning-usually without presenting an explicit framework for its description. Thus this book fills a gap in our knowledge of semantics in that it formulates the main points of a new approach to meaning, and this approach deserves to be further elaborated vis-a-vis such detailed questions as those concerning quantifiers and their scopes, comparatives and their complementations, the relations of control and binding, and many other issues the author could not handle in this book. Vilem Novak's understanding of natural language meaning is based on mathematical and linguistic approaches deserving of more attention than has been paid to them; these approaches concern the dependency-based conceptualization of sentence syntax as well as Petr Vopenka's alternative set theory. The latter theory, which represents a new view of the fundamentals of mathematics, is applied here in close connection with Lotfi Zadeh's theory of fuzzy sets, and the level of linguistic (literal) meaning (or of underlying sentence structure) is systematically discussed here, its description substantially enriched through a treatment of the vagueness of meaning. The present monograph constitutes an important step in the development of our understanding of the nature of meaning because it certainly will evoke further vii

7 viii Foreword discussions on how the oppositions inherent in the linguistic patterning of semantics and pragmatics are shaped within and captured by the human mind, and how we can adequately describe them. Petr Sga11

8 Preface This book is a result of discussions in the Prague group of theoretical linguists and logicians concerning the semantics of natural language and the possibilities of modeling it using mathematical tools. Within this group, two approaches exist. The first one, represented mainly by Professor Pavel Materna and his colleagues (T. Vlk, T. Chrz, 1. Peregrin, and others), is based on intensional logic. The second is based on alternative set theory and is adhered to in the present volume. Despite the different mathematical backgrounds of the two approaches, they have many common points through which they influence each other. Most important, the linguistic basis of both mathematical models of the semantics of natural language is the functional generative description of natural language initiated by Professor Petr Sgall and developed for many years by him and his group (E. Hajicova, 1. Panevova, P. Pit'ha, and others). In this book, we present a theory stemming from principles that in many important points differ from those well known in classical mathematics. They provide us with different views of the world, and I am convinced the new approach is more natural and closer to the human way of regarding the world than the classical one. We challenge the reader to judge whether this is true and whether the theory is worthy of further development. I would like to express my thanks to many people who took part in producing this book: first, to my wife, Daria, for her support; to many of my colleagues who encouraged me, discussed the topic with me, or participated in any way in developing this book; to the leadership of the Mining Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Ostrava, for allowing me the time and opportunity to write this book; to Professor Ellis Cumberbatch for careful reading of parts of the manuscript and improving its language; and to Professor George 1. Klir for his encouragement in publishing this book with Plenum Publishing Corporation. My special thanks belong to Professor Petr Sgall, who first suggested that I write this book, and subsequently read the whole text and helped me to improve it ix
