Select ((just one ))of the more specific topics given below. In order to do so you should provide a dataset from a specific language you are familiar with (no more than 5 sentences) and discuss one of the following topics, highlighting any advantages or disadvantages the analysis has:
1. Analyse your dataset, explaining how type theory and lambda calculus overcome the difficulties we find in first order predicate logic. In your account provide comprehensive examples of two/three place predicates and how they can be analysed in this logic.
2. Analyse your dataset, discussing how Generalised Quantifier Theory overcomes the difficulties in the analysis of quantified NPs in first order predicate logic. Does this analysis manage to capture the meaning of NPs in a uniform and comprehensive way?
3. Analyse your dataset, giving an account of Anaphora in DRT. Provide a detailed discussion of any strengths and/or weaknesses associated with this approach.
4. Analyse your dataset, explaining how the DRT mechanism accounts for Tense and Aspect, giving particular emphasis on the temporal relations introduced. What is the main strength of this approach compared to the Does tense logic approach?
