"This volume contains a well-balanced selection of great paperscovering fifteen vibrant years of semantic research. My owndefinition of a classic paper is a paper that is endlessly borrowedby students, but rarely returned. The papers in this volume allshare the property that somewhere in the world somebody owns mycopy of them. It's great to find them all collected here." FredLandman, Tel Aviv University
"Truth-conditional semantics has its roots in the work of Fregeand analytic philosophy, which was designed to overcome thevagueness, ambiguities, and dubious ontological commitments ofnatural language. Curiously, this intellectual tradition providedthe very foundation for the serious study of meaning in naturallanguage. This collection of seminal articles bears witness to thisastonishing development; it should be essential reading forlinguists and philosophers who are seriously interested inlinguistic meaning." Manfred Krifka, Humboldt University
