| Authors: | Zheng, David |
| Advisors: | Goldberg, Adele |
| Department: | Philosophy |
| Class Year: | 2014 |
| Abstract: | I provide a critique of Discourse Representation Theory, a formalism that works at the intersection of model theoretic semantics and generative syntactic theory. In doing so, I aim to provide a more general critique of formal semantics and provide some alternative approaches towards a psychologically robust account of language. |
