Logical 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 کاملLogical Form and Agency*
A good deal of Donald Davidson's important and widely influential paper, `The Logical Form of Action Sentences',1 is taken up with demonstrating the failure of the Kenny-Chisholm-von Wright style 2 account of the syntax of agency to adequately cope with a varied collection of problems. The approach repudiated by Davidson enjoins partitioning an action-sentence into an agent, a state of affairs,...
متن کاملLogical Form and Truth-Conditions∗
This paper outlines a truth-conditional view of logical form, that is, a view according to which logical form is essentially a matter of truth-conditions. Section 1 provides some preliminary clarifications. Section 2 shows that the main motivation for the view is the fact that fundamental logical relations such as entailment or contradiction can formally be explained only if truth-conditions ar...
متن کاملChomsky and embodied cognition: A sensorimotor interpretation of Minimalist logical form
In this paper I argue that the Minimalist syntactic model of Chomsky (1995) may be a suitable vehicle for expressing an ‘embodied’ model of language, positing that language supervenes strongly on the sensorimotor system. The basic idea is that the principles which define the ‘logical form’ (LF) of concrete sentences, which Minimalists see as reflecting innate knowledge of language, may in fact ...
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...
