DONALO DAVIDSON GILBERT HARMAN EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION The success of linguistics in treating naturallanguages as formal syntactic systems has aroused the interest of a number of linguists in a paralleI or related development of semantics. For the most part quite independ- ently  many philosophers and logicians have reeently been applying formai semantic methods to structures increasingly like naturallanguages. While differenees in training  method and vocabulary tend to veil the fact  philosophers and linguists are converging  it seerns  on a common set of interrelated probiems. Sinee philosophers and linguists are working on the same  or very similar  probiems  it would obviously be instructive to compare notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651902529589,"sku":"ByrdShop_9027703108","price":135.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9789027703101.jpg?v=1781844717","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/semantics-of-natural-language-synthese-library-40-9789027703101","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
