When linguists talk mathematical logic
Given the importance of recursion in modern linguistics, there ought to be much to commend in Watumull et al.’s (2014) attempt to clarify what recursion is (or ought to be); I have trudged this very terrain myself, using some of the same sources, and in order to make similar points (e.g., Lobina, 2011, but especially in Lobina, 2012). However, there are so many issues with Watumull et al.’s own...
متن کاملEverything That Linguists Have Always Wanted to Know About Logic
Most introductory courses on logic teach only the syntax of first-order predicate calculus and give a few simple proofs, usually of theorems in arithmetic. Advanced courses are taught in mathematics departments, where they lead to topics that have little or no application to linguistics. In one of the standard textbooks, Schoenfield (1967) explicitly states "Mathemat ical logic has always been ...
متن کاملTeaching Logic to Linguists: the Logical Approach to Grammar
Natural Language Grammar can be viewed as a formal system in many aspects. The traditional way of presenting grammar to students as a set of morphosyntactic rules in order to speak a language correctly can be substituted profitably by formal models that explain the interfaces between morphology, syntax and semantics and even pragmatics. These models are based in most cases in logical models. Th...
متن کاملSuper Liars
Kripke's theory of truth offered a trivalent semantics for a language which, like English, contains a truth predicate and means of self-reference; but it did so by severely restricting the expressive power of the logic. In Kripke's analysis, the Liar (e.g. This very sentence is not true) receives the indeterminate truth value, but this fact cannot be expressed in the language; by contrast, it i...
متن کاملLiars, Damned Liars, and Zealots: The Effect of Moral Mandates on Transgressive Advocacy Acceptance
This research explored people’s reactions to targets who “went too far” to support noble causes. We hypothesized that observers’ moral mandates would shape their perceptions of others’ advocacy, even when that advocacy was transgressive, that is, when it used norm-violating means (i.e., lying) to achieve a preferred end. Observers were expected to accept others’ advocacy, independent of its cre...
