Some frills for the modal tic-tag-toe of Davies and Isard: semantics of predicate complement constructions
Aravind K. Joshi, Ralph M. Weiechedel · 1973
Predicate complement constructions are a rich source of semantic problems. The semantics of these constructions is explored in the context of the tictac-toe game playing setting of Davies and Isard (1972). Even in this limited setting, the implementations of these constructions are quite nontrivial, suggesting that such restricted settings provide a good testing ground for many key linguistic problems.
