요약The goal of this dissertation is the development of a unique theoretic approach to dynamic semantics; that is, a theory of the meanings of linguistic expressions which aims to capture the rich interplay between utterances and the contexts in which they are uttered. This is accomplished by modelling the linguistic context as a type-theoretic object, allowing for the meanings of linguistic expressions to take the context as an argument, which they can then extract information from as well as modify. In particular, the meanings of sentences are modelled as relations on contexts, associating each input context with a (possibly empty) set of potential output contexts. One significant way in which this approach differs from many of the standard theories of dynamic semantics is that while standard theories use sets of output contexts to model the introduction of an indefinite discourse referent (DR), in the approach taken here the elements of the set of output contexts correspond to different semantically plausible resolutions of anaphors and similar presupposition-like expressions. As such, the theory of dynamic semantics developed in this dissertation, which I have dubbed relational dynamic categorial grammar, or RelDyCG, is able to model semantic contributions to the resolution of such operators separately from the contributions of other components, such as syntactic constraints or discourse-structural effects.In RelDyCG, linguistic contexts are modelled type-theoretically as functions from a vector (fixed-length list) of entities (the DRs) to a static linguistic proposition. As a result of this, the theory necessitates the use of a modern type theory, which makes use of what are known as dependent types. As such, a significant part of this dissertation is devoted to describing these types, and the theory I use to implement them. In particular, I aim to show how they can be thought of as a natural extension to the types in higher-order logic (HOL), which is a more familiar setting to most semanticists.Alongside the development of the foundational component of RelDyCG, as well as the type-theoretical framework in which it is developed, a few other linguistically significant components of the theory are developed in this dissertation. First, the semantic theory is built up alongside a simple (categorial) theory of syntax, which is used to demonstrate that RelDyCG is entirely compositional in the usual Fregean sense. Several syntactic derivations are provided to demonstrate this compositionality. Furthermore, several extensions to the base RelDyCG are discussed, as demonstrations of how its underlying architecture can be useful in the semantic treatment of dynamic phenomena. One example is an improvement on simple index-based approaches to the semantics of pronouns, opting instead for a non-deterministic analysis, which is further extended to an analysis of definite reference via "the." The other extension involves modifying the theory to allow for the treatment of conventional implicatures. The result is a flexible framework for developing analyses of dynamic phenomena while maintaining rigorous enough type discipline to make precise predictions about natural language.
