Continuations And Natural Language (Oxford Studies In Theoretical Linguistics) - 9780199575022

The continuation of an expression is a portion of its surrounding context. This book proposes and defends the continuation hypothesis: that the meaning of a natural language expression can depend on its own continuation (it can denote a function on its surrounding context).
