Jackendoff R.S. Semantic interpretation in generative grammar

The MIT Press, 1974. — 400 p.The research reported in this book is an attempt to meet semantics on its own terms and assess the contribution it makes to the overt syntactic patterns of English. Like much other recent work in linguistics, it developed out of a realization that many current problems cannot be solved insightfully within the linguistic theory provided by Chomsky's "Aspects of the theory of syntax", because they involve semantics too deeply.
