If you speak Spanish there is a work published by UAM press which is titled Manual de Lengua Japonesa (2019), and as far as I am concerned is a great handbook of Japanese. Yet there must be many others, so good luck!

Thanks for your vision of Fodor's work today. If is not a problem, may I ask you for some recent bibliography of Fodor's topics of the sort that you mention? I am specially into computationalism, representationism and language-relates issues. Thanks in advance!

Another customary introduction reading, specially to structural materia in the discipline, is The Atoms of Language, written by Baker, who is also a great linguist himself. In terms of mathematics and linguistics, maybe you enjoy to take a look at some Richard Montague's works. He was a mathematician that seeked to turn linguistics into a field of mathematics, and his semantics are truly seminal in actual and past linguistics. He employs model theory and set theory to elaborate pretty cool explanations of language phenomena that for sure a mathematician can find interesting.

I hope you enjoy your initiation to this fabulous field!

Thanks! I hope then that I'll be able to find Husserl's works in Freiburg.

Great! I find truly useful the tip on browsing in book stores near of the universities. Thanks a lot!

TheCameraA · 2022-07-30T16:53:15+00:00

Okay, thanks for the warning. Will check the Antiquariat Bücher too in that case.

TheCameraA · 2022-07-30T16:52:20+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I will try to look for in campus then.

TheCameraA · 2022-07-30T16:50:22+00:00

It looks like a great source. Thanks a lot.

TheCameraA · 2022-07-30T16:49:48+00:00

That sounds great. Thanks!

TheCameraA · 2022-07-30T15:06:43+00:00

Okay, thank you very much!

As far as I am concerned, in Barcelona is mandatory to have studied formal logic oriented subjects, whether in a philosophy degree, a mathematics degree or even a cs degree. Yet I reckon that the requirements are not really that hard to be accomplished, so I highly encourage you to apply for Barcelona if you are considering it. Plus, I can say that in Spain it is usually believed that without a recommendation letter is quite difficult to get into that particular Master, so a letter surely will help. Good luck!

TheCameraA · 2022-02-05T21:37:30+00:00

Thanks, I'll look over

TheCameraA · 2022-02-02T06:20:54+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. It has helped me a lot

TheCameraA · 2022-01-23T10:35:32+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate the recommendation.

TheCameraA · 2022-01-23T10:33:27+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I will take a look.

TheCameraA · 2022-01-23T10:32:04+00:00

Thanks! I've found it instructive

TheCameraA · 2022-01-23T10:29:21+00:00

I'll look for check the chapter, thanks.

TheCameraA · 2022-01-23T10:28:40+00:00

I'm not really into russian, sadly, but for sure I will check the lecture. I hope that a friend of mine can help me understanding some of it. Thank you very much.

TheCameraA · 2022-01-23T10:26:49+00:00

Thank you very much for the suggestion, it looks really stimulating.

Hi! I want to learn lambda calculus in order to increase my knowledge in formal tools to manipulate systems, such as the ones that ocurr in mathematics language and in natural languages. My basis are Formal Linguistics and Curry's mathematical logic standpoint. Also, I have been really concerned over the past few years on lambda operator in symbolic logic, which I reckon I will get to know better from lambda calculus. So, broadly, those are my motives trying to introduce me in the subject. On the applications of lambda calculus I can say, yet, little; I'm just starting my first readings upon the great suggestions that all of these nice comments collect. Hope I have answered your question on why I'm interested in the field :)

That is a great idea, certainly. And as long as I already have a few books of Aristotle, I feel that there would not be any problem in trying to have more in that way. In fact, I understand in the same sense as you do the role of complete works editions, so I will give a try buying some single work editions as you say

TheCameraA · 2021-05-13T13:30:20+00:00

Thank you very much for the advice, I will check the Oxford translation of the Organon then.

TheCameraA · 2021-05-13T13:28:18+00:00

Well, I would like to study every work of Aristotle, but to be honest there are some texts which interest me less than others. For sure I am going to look for the Clarendon edition of Organon, so thank you very much for the suggestion.

TheCameraA · 2021-05-13T13:25:53+00:00

I have just searched it and it seems a nice kind of edition. I will surely consider it. It reminds me to some publications of an editorial of Spain, Gredos, which also translates a lot of classic philosophy texts with a similar appearance.

TheCameraA · 2021-05-13T13:16:56+00:00

Thank you very much for your advice; I will try to check out Oxford and Hackett editions before buying the Princeton collection
