      abstract = {How is the meaning of natural language interpreted? Taking  as its point of departure the logical problem of natural  language acquisition, this book elaborates a theory of  meaning based on syntactical rather than semantical  processes. Hornstein argues that the traditional neoFregean  approach taken by Davidson, Barwise and Perry, and  Montague, among others--an approach that makes use of  semantical notions like "truth" and "reference"--should be  replaced by a theory drawn from the syntactical vocabulary  of generative grammar.Surprisingly, the book points out  that linguistic competence can be acquired despite the  degeneracy, finiteness, and deficiency of the environmental  stimulus, and it characterizes those innate aspects of the  mind which enable a child to develop into a native  speaker.In eight chapters it investigates the issue of  pronoun binding, relative quantifier scope, the treatment  of definite descriptions, as well as more technical issues  in current theoretical linguistics.A Bradford Book.},
