This book is the last book of Iida's celebrated series, "Summa". It includes a detailed argument for homophonic semantics and an equally detailed exposition of his truth-conditional semantics for three fragments of Japanese, the third of which contains indexical expressions and tensed verbs. As one might expect, the semantics given for this fragment is far from being homophonic. I will examine what role his argument for homophonic semantics plays in his defense of his non-homophonic semantics. I will also examine how Iida avoids treating moods in his semantics, and point out the need to treat illocutionary acts within semantics.
