The book introduces Iceberg semantics, a novel Boolean framework that enhances the interpretation of mass and count nouns. It likens the meaning of noun phrases to an iceberg, where the interpretation emerges from a foundational base and rests on its Boolean part set. This approach maintains the benefits of classical Boolean semantics for count nouns while offering a superior method for analyzing mass nouns, suggesting significant advancements in the understanding of noun phrase semantics.
