Diagnosing truth , interactive sincerity , and depictive sincerity ∗
This paper presents two experimental findings pertaining to the semantics and pragmatics of superlative modifiers (at least, at most). First, in a scenario with N objects of a given type, speakers consistently judge it true that there are ‘at least N’ and ‘at most N’ objects of that type. This supports the debated position that the ignorance conveyed by superlative modifiers is an implicature, ...
متن کاملReasoning and Modeling Paradigms Are Incompatible
Object-oriented and logic-programming paradigms are shown to be incompatible as component-based models of computation. This “impossibility result,” based on a new notion of observability of interactions among components, suggests that combining objectoriented with logic programming is not merely hard but impossible. It implies the more general incompatibility of reasoning and modeling and the i...

متن کاملBilattices Are Nice Things
One approach to the paradoxes of self-referential languages is to allow some sentences to lack a truth value (or to have more than one). Then assigning truth values where possible becomes a fixpoint construction and, following Kripke, this is usually carried out over a partially ordered family of three-valued truth-value assignments. Some years ago Matt Ginsberg introduced the notion of bilatti...
