Reviews
"Language and Equilibriumis the crowning achievement of a long line of research pioneered by Prashant Parikh. In this groundbreaking work Parikh introduces a fresh perspective on natural language pragmatics by making a creative tie with game theory. Clearly written, Language and Equilibriumweaves together semantics, game theory, and situation theory to create a thought-provoking picture of natural language pragmatics. All modern AI researchers interested in the foundations of natural language pragmatics owe it to themselves to become familiar with this picture." -Yoav Shoham, Computer Science Department, Stanford University

Synopsis
A new framework that shows how to derive the meaning of an utterance from first principles by modeling it as a system of interdependent games., A new framework that shows how to derive the meaning of an utterance from first principles by modeling it as a system of interdependent games. In Language and Equilibrium, Prashant Parikh offers a new account of meaning for natural language. He argues that equilibrium, or balance among multiple interacting forces, is a key attribute of language and meaning and shows how to derive the meaning of an utterance from first principles by modeling it as a system of interdependent games.His account results in a novel view of semantics and pragmatics and describes how both may be integrated with syntax. It considers many aspects of meaning--including literal meaning and implicature--and advances a detailed theory of definite descriptions as an application of the framework.Language and Equilibrium is intended for a wide readership in the cognitive sciences, including philosophers, linguists, and artificial intelligence researchers as well as neuroscientists, psychologists, and economists interested in language and communication., A new framework that shows how to derive the meaning of an utterance from first principles by modeling it as a system of interdependent games.
