A drawback for substitutional arguments

چکیده
Competing theories on the semantics of group pejorative terms (also known as ‘slurs’) comprise both advocates and opponents to Identity Thesis (IT), according which these their neutral counterparts do not differ in semantic value. In opponents' camp, Christopher Hom has offered an argument based substitution slurs that supports his semanticist approach cast doubts all IT-based approaches slurs. We aim point a dilemma triggered by this evidence showing some words (including but restricted slurs) for non-problematically co-referential pairs may fail preserve truth-values linguistics contexts.

متن کاملA Substitutional Framework for Arithmetical Validity
A platonist in mathematics believes that arithmetic has a subject matter, i.e., that the statements of arithmetic are about certain objects – the natural numbers. For a platonist, the language of (first-order) arithmetic La is referential and he is licensed to speak of true and false sentences of La and to endorse Tarski’s analysis of truth. It follows from this Tarskian analysis plus the fact ...

In the past recent years the introduction of a Hospital Information System in one of the largest state Greek hospitals took place in two phases: First, the Administrative subsystem (AS) was developed and used productively and later on, the Clinical Information subsystem (CIS) gradually was introduced.

متن کاملLee-yang Zeros for Substitutional Systems
Qualitative and quantitative information about critical phenomena is provided by the distribution of zeros of the partition function in the complex plane. We apply this idea to Ising models on non-periodic systems based on substitution. In 1D we consider the Thue-Morse chain and show that the magnetic field zeros are filling a Cantor subset of the unit circle, the gaps being related to a genera...
متن کاملThe Substitutional Framework for Sorted Deduction
Researchers in artiicial intelligence have recently been taking great interest in hybrid representations , among them sorted logics|logics that link a traditional logical representation to a taxonomic (or sort) representation such as those prevalent in semantic networks. This paper introduces a general framework|the substitutional framework|for integrating logical deduction and sortal deduction...
