The book introduces Iceberg semantics, a novel framework for interpreting mass and count nouns through a Boolean lens. It illustrates how noun phrases emerge from a generating base, akin to an iceberg floating on its Boolean set. By retaining the strengths of classical Boolean semantics for count nouns, it posits that Iceberg semantics offers a superior approach for analyzing mass nouns, addressing limitations found in traditional theories.
