  Lemmings: Heim on Comparative Clauses
As it turns out, however, if Irene Heim's recent theory of comparative adjectives is correct, comparative claims pose no problem for presentism.
To account for quantifier scopes, Heim suggests that there are semantically vacuouos 'wh'-items in the sentence structure of comparative claims.
Heim's theory predicts that this sentence is of the following form.

 Linguist List - Reviews Available for the Book
As such, the work of these authors was highly influential for the development of Dynamic Semantics, a theory of formal semantics which attempts to capture the meaning of natural language expressions in terms of their conditions on the context as well as their potential to alter the context.
Dynamic Semantics was developed independently by Hans Kamp and Irene Heim; its beginnings are represented in the collection by Kamp's ''A Theory of Truth and Semantic Representation'' (1981) and Heim's ''File Change Semantics and the Familiarity Theory of Definiteness'' (1983a) and ''On the Projection Problem for Presuppositions'' (1983b).
Parallel to the development of dynamic semantics in the 1980s, the diversification of phenomena that formal semanticists were studying led to innovations in the model-theoretic structures in which their analyses were articulated.

Heim, Irene (1982) The Semantics of Definite and Indefinite Noun Phrases.
Angelika Kratzer has been working on event semantics, argument structure, voice alternations, tense, aspect, quantifier scope, and phenomena typically associated with embedded sentences such as logophoricity, sequence of tense, and subjunctive mood.
With alumna Irene Heim, Kratzer is also co-founder and co-editor of the journal Natural Language Semantics.

 Presupposition and Assertion in Dynamic Semantics
The dynamic semantics developed in the second half of the book follows the direction charted by Karttunen and Heim in their early work, and gives an elegant solution to many problems that have plagued previous theories.
Its first part gives an "histoire raisonnnee" of the theory of presupposition from Frege up to the recent dynamic approaches of Heim and Van Der Sandt.
I consider this remarkably concise, lucid and cogent review of presupposition theory an ideal and much needed introduction for any linguist, computational linguist,logician or philosopher who wants to learn about the subject.

---Irene Heim _________ ABSTRACT OF NEXT WEEK'S TINLUNCH AI, Employment and Income In a recent article in the AI Magazine, Nils Nilsson explores the profound effects Artificial Intelligence is likely to have on employment and the distribution of income.
He presents an economic and a psychological reason for his opinion that we should greet the work-eliminating consequences of AI with enthusiasm, since they will liberate people from unfulfilling work without necessarily harming them economically.

But he backs away from identifying the linguistic meanings of ‘he’ and ‘she’ with the linguistic meanings of variables (with appropriately restricted ranges); he even entertains the possibility that there are two homonymous expressions ‘he’, one of which is a demonstrative and the other of which is a variable.
Other theorists (for instance, Heim and Kratzer 1998, chapter 9) assimilate demonstratives to free variables.
Those who work on discourse representation theory and dynamic semantics emphasize the similarities between variables and some anaphoric uses of pronouns.

 Construction of Meaning Workshop
Are person, number and gender features on bound-variable pronouns semantically interpreted, or are they just a superficial reflex of agreement between the pronoun and its antecedent?
Some (e.g., Heim 1991, Kratzer 1998, Stechow 2003) argue that at least some pronouns have the semantics of featureless, unrestricted, variables.
Others (e.g., Cooper 1983, Schlenker 2003, Rullmann 2004) derive good predictions from the assumption that features on bound pronouns restrict the range of the relevant variable.

But I suspect the ranking of MIT in this area was also partly due to the fact that (as I've heard) they listed some of their superstar semanticists as affiliate members of the philosophy department.
It's hard for people like me not to rank a department very highly in philosophy of language that lists Irene Heim, Kai von Fintel, and Danny Fox as affiliate faculty.
But other departments didn't exploit their linguists as cleverly.
