This paper is essentially part of my 1989 Columbia University dissertation, ‘Generalized Logic: A Philosophical Perspective with Linguistic Applications’. I wish to thank my dissertation Peter Sher, Johan van Benthem and two anonymous referees ofLinguistics and Philosophy for their helpful contributions. I would also like to thank the audiences at The Linguistic Institute (Summer 1986) and M.I.T. (Spring 1988) where I presented earlier versions of the paper. The current version was in part prepared while I was a Visiting Scholar at M.I.T. I am thankful to the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy for its hospitality.
