„Barbara H. Partee is the founding mother of linguistic semanticsas it is practiced today, and this collection of many of herclassic papers shows why she has been so influential. Thecombination of theoretical insight with her legendary ability tofind just the right example to make a point is evident throughout. And, as a bonus, the collection begins with a wonderful memoir ofthe turbulent time when semantics was getting its start.“ RobertStalnaker, MIT "Two different audiences will be delighted with this book: thosewho read the classic papers gathered here when they first appearedand those who did not but are heirs to the rich semantics traditionin formal linguistics that Barbara H. Partee established with thosepapers and with her irresistible enthusiasm for systematicinvestigation of linguistic meaning. Partee's keen semanticinsights, her flair for telling examples, her intellectualgenerosity, her clear-headedness, and her pedagogical talents areevident throughout, not just in the vintage pieces but also in theintroductory essay she's written and in the couple of articlespublished more recently. This volume belongs on every semanticist'sshelf." Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University
