dc.description.abstract | An intensional logic with dynamic interpretation is presented in order to provide a formal
semantics for sense extension, lexical ambiguity and metaphoricity. Intensionality is
required in order to provide the right account of polysemy and homonymy. The dynamics
are required in order to allow the interpretation of a sentence to impact the interpretation
of subsequent sentences by adding any extended expressions. Metaphoricity is captured in
the classification of indices at which expressions are evaluated. A mechanism for deciding
which predicates to extend is not provided; the intent is rather to demonstrate how
dynamic logic can accommodate sense generation and extension. The system is presented,
explained, and argued to capture important features of metaphor creation. It provides
existential proof of the potential for formal model theoretic semantics to contribute to the
theory of metaphor. | en |
