CAS LX 522 Syntax I
Known errata


If you find errors that I haven't listed here, let me know and I'll add them.

Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet (2000).

p. 29, 2nd par., line 4. "-pose it, as in (34); conversely, ...". That number should be (43).

p. 394, exercise 1, (3): There is a piece missing from the beginning of the formula. It should read "Lz[Lx[[K(x,z)^R(x,z)]vR(z,x)](j)](m)" (where L=lambda). That is, insert "[Lx" after the "Lz". If your web browser can display it, it should look like:

  • λz [ λx [[ K(x,z) ∧ R(x,z) ] ∨ R(z,x) ](j)](m)

p. 410, just under (34), they refer to (34), but it should be (33).

 

de Swart (1998):

p. 10. "However, if we are interested in language as a means of communication, we do not want to do pure syntax, just in order to do syntax." That last word should be semantics.
