摘要
This paper is motivated by and aims to supplement Cognitive Semantics. Details of this latter prominent approach within contemporary linguistic research will not be discussed here. Rather, we focus on a formalization of the concept of Gestalt and provide a formal semantics that can be used to interpret a certain formal language (LM0) with respect to a universe of structured wholes (Gestalts). Since a great deal of the analyses of linguistic organization that has been provided by Cognitive Semantics since the mid-1970s is based on the concept of Gestalt, the semantics unfolded in the following may be viewed as an attempt to provide a starting point for supplementing the yet informal analyses of Cognitive Semantics by formal models. Since Gestaltists have talked about Gestalts in terms of parts and wholes, it is a natural step to make use of mereological techniques. © 2007, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.
