Is English consequence compact?

چکیده
By mimicking the standard definition for a formal language, we define what it is natural language to be compact. We set out valid English argument none of whose finite subarguments valid. consider one by objections argument's logical validity and then dismiss them. The conclusion that English—and any other with capacity express argument—is not This rules large class logics as correct foundational one, example sound complete logic, in particular first-order logic. logic

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking as a Consequence of Compact Dimensions
It has been shown recently that the Higgs doublet may be composite, with the left-handed top-bottom doublet and a new right-handed anti-quark as constituents bound by some four-quark operators with non-perturbative coefficients. I show that these operators are naturally induced if there are extra spatial dimensions with a compactification scale in the multi-TeV range. The Higgs compositness is ...
متن کاملHow Fallacious is the Consequence Fallacy?
In Williamson (2007), Timothy Williamson argues against “the tactic of criticizing confidence in a theory by identifying a logical consequence of the theory (not itself a logical truth) whose probability is not raised by the evidence” (232-233). He dubs it the consequence fallacy. In this paper, we will show that Williamson‟s formulation of the tactic in question is ambiguous. On one reading of...
متن کاملWhat is Tarski's common concept of consequence?
In 1936 Tarski sketched a rigorous definition of the concept of logical consequence which, he claimed, agreed quite well with common usage—or, as he also said, with the common concept of consequence. Commentators of Tarski’s paper have usually been elusive as to what this common concept is. However, being clear on this issue is important to decide whether Tarski’s definition failed (as Etchemen...
متن کاملIs Absorption a Consequence of Unitarity ?
Absorptive corrections to scattering and production in a family of explicitly unitary models is studied. We find that in a particular model in which quantum number constraints are ignored, all the results concerning absorptive corrections found in the Reggeon calculus model of Abramovskii, Kancheli, and Gribov are reproduced. In extended models, however, the effects due to quantum numbers and/o...
متن کاملWhat Is International English?
The number of people using English for international communication is increasing on an unprecedented scale and the spread of English shows no signs of stopping. There is a growing body of research on the phenomenon of international English, yet international English is defined variously in the literature and what is included in these definitions differs considerably. This review seeks to examin...
