Overview
Semantic Indexicality shows how a simple syntax can be combined with a propositional language at the level of logical analysis. It is the adoption of such a base language which has not been attempted before, and it is this which constitutes the originality of the book. Cresswell's simple and direct style makes this book accessible to a wider audience than the somewhat specialized subject matter might initially suggest.

Demonstrates how a simple syntax can be combined with a propositional language at the level of logical analysis. More specifically, overlaps two processes: treating a predicate as a sentence that is true or false to an individual, just as model logic treats a sentence as true or false to the world and temporal logic to a particular time; and representing contextual information by the semantical indices and qualifying them with propositional functions such that the necessity operator in modal logic quantifies over worlds.
