Focusing on the structure of meaning in English sentences at a "subatomic" level - that is, a level below the one most theories accept as basic or "atomic" - Parsons asserts that the semantics of simple English sentences require logical forms somewhat more complex than is normally assumed in natural language semantics.

20 Citations1991John Bowers
It will be claimed that there is a small set of functional categories in nominals that provide a universal and maximally 'transparent' compositional mapping of syntactic representations onto the representations of If, using only a limited range of semantic operations such as functional application and type-shifting.
