RAMSIFICATION AND SEMANTIC INDETERMINACY

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Is it possible to maintain classical logic, stay close semantics, and yet accept that language might be semantically indeterminate? The article gives an affirmative answer by Ramsifying semantics , which yields a new semantic theory remains much closer than supervaluationism but at the same time avoids problematic presupposition of determinacy. resulting Ramsey is developed in detail, shown supply concept truth fully support rules metarules applied vague terms as well theoretical or open-ended from mathematics science. also demonstrates how diachronic synchronic interpretational continuity across languages compatible with indeterminacy.

Ramsification and inductive inference

An argument, different from the Newman objection, against the view that the cognitive content of a theory is exhausted by its Ramsey sentence is reviewed. The crux of the argument is that Ramsification may ruin inductive systematization between theory and observation. The argument also has some implications concerning the issue of underdetermination.

Empirical Adequacy and Ramsification

Structural realism has been proposed as an epistemological position interpolating between realism and sceptical anti-realism about scientific theories. The structural realist who accepts a scientific theory Θ thinks that Θ is empirically correct, and furthermore is a realist about the ‘structural content’ of Θ. But what exactly is ‘structural content’? One proposal is that the ‘structural conte...

Semantic indeterminacy in object relative clauses.

This article examined whether semantic indeterminacy plays a role in comprehension of complex structures such as object relative clauses. Study 1 used a gated sentence completion task to assess which alternative interpretations are dominant as the relative clause unfolds; Study 2 compared reading times in object relative clauses containing different animacy configurations to unambiguous passive...

Indeterminacy Reduction in Agent Communication Using a Semantic Language

In recent years, the importance of vagueness and uncertainty in the messages exchanged between agents has been highlighted mainly due to the ubiquitous nature of the (artificial or human) agents’ communication. The imprecision in the communication becomes more significant when the autonomy of the agents increases or the number of exchanged messages for a communicative goal is limited. In this p...
