Enriched Meanings: Natural Language Semantics with Category Theory

Ash Asudeh, professor of linguistics and director of the Center for Language Sciences at the University of Rochester, has a new book that just came out!

“Enriched Meanings: Natural Language Semantics with Category Theory”, coauthored by Asudeh and Gianluca Giorgolo, develops a theory of enriched meanings for natural language interpretation that uses the concept of monads and related ideas from category theory, a branch of mathematics that has been influential in theoretical computer science and elsewhere. The volume contains insights from semantics, pragmatics, philosophy of language, psychology, and computer science, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines with an interest in natural language understanding and representation.
