AgAinst logicAl form
An old view in logic going back to Aristotle is that an inference is valid in virtue of its logical form. Many psychologists have adopted the same point of view about human reasoning: the first step is to recover the logical form of an inference, and the second step is to apply rules of inference that match these forms in order to prove that the conclusion follows from the premises. The present...
متن کاملAgainst logical form
Conceptions of logical form are stranded between extremes. On one side are those who think the logical form of a sentence has little to do with logic; on the other, those who think it has little to do with the sentence. Most of us would prefer a conception that strikes a balance: logical form that is an objective feature of a sentence and captures its logical character. I will argue that we can...
متن کاملLogical Form
The notion of the logical form of an expression E is shown to be a semantic notion that can be derived from the notion of the structured meaning of E. This simple idea can be traced to categorial grammars, and it is implicitly used by Richard Montague. We argue that a most fine-grained tool for defining structured meaning can be found in Pavel Tichý’s Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL). Struct...
متن کاملDeforesting Logical Form
This paper argues against Logical Form (LF) as an intermediate level of representation in language processing. We apply a program transformation technique called deforestation to demonstrate the inessentiality of LF in a parsing system that builds semantic interpretations. We consider two phenomena, Quantifier Raising in English and Wh-movement in Chinese, which have played key roles in the bro...
متن کاملSubtyping in Logical Form
By using intersection types and filter models we formulate a theory of types for a λ-calculus with record subtyping via a finitary programming logic. Types are interpreted as spaces of filters over a subset of the language of properties (the intersection types) which describes the underlying type free realizability structure. We show that such an interpretation is a PER semantics, proving that ...
