This book examines the structure and foundations of natural language meaning by integrating formal dimensions and cognitive structures, offering a unified perspective on how language interfaces with cognition and the world. The volume explores how linguistic forms shape meaning through structural arrangements, how these meanings connect to cognitive, neuronal, and external world structures, and how these two seemingly divergent dimensions of meaning in human language can be reconciled. By proposing bridging principles that reconcile formal and cognitive approaches, the book addresses key issues in linguistic theory around language-logic relations, linguistic computation, and brain-world correspondences. It also highlights the broader implications of this integrated framework for advancing research in linguistics, logic, and cognition in the future. This book provides innovative insights into the complex nature of natural language meaning for students and scholars in linguistics, especially those with an interest in semantics, syntax, and pragmatics, as well as related fields such as cognitive science and philosophy.
