Some Formal Properties of Indirect Semantics

The ideas of context free and logistic grammars are defined within the theory of inductive sets, and necessary and sufficient conditions are established for homomorphic translation from the first sort of structure into the second. The method is of interest because of its recent use in the indirect semantic interpretation of context free grammars by translating them into intensional logic. Examp...

Tarski, Truth, and Semantics

No one denies that Tarski made a major contribution to one particular problem about truth, namely, the resolution of the semantic paradoxes—although, of course, there is disagreement about whether he provided the correct solution. But some philosophers have suggested that Tarski also made a significant contribution to another project, that of providing semantic theories for natural languages. H...
