A logical account of free choice imperatives⇤
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since Ross’s observation that the instruction Post this letter does not entail Post this letter or burn it, imperatives have constituted a challenge for the logician. Building on ideas from inquisitive semantics, we propose an account in which imperatives are regarded as partial specifications of a set of options. We show that this account avoids Ross’s paradox and gives rise to a sensible notion of imperative entailment.

Utility and implicatures of imperatives
The article defines the relevance or utility of an imperative in terms of how far it can help in increasing the probability of the occurrence of a desirable future world. In terms of this notion, we account for (i) the potential of imperatives to license free choice any in their scope; and (ii) the free choice effects of disjunctive and any-imperatives. 1 Choice-offering imperatives 1.1 Or in i...
متن کاملA Semantics for Imperatives
Imperatives like ‘Post this letter or burn it!’ or ‘Take any card!’ are most naturally interpreted as presenting a choice between different alternatives. The article proposes an account of choice-offering imperatives and of their non-standard logical properties based on the framework of inquisitive semantics.
متن کاملOn choice-offering imperatives
The law of propositional logic that states the deducibility of either A or B from A is not valid for imperatives (Ross’s paradox, cf. [9]). The command (or request, advice, etc.) in (1a) does not imply (1a) (unless it is taken in its alternative-presenting sense), otherwise when told the former, I would be justified in burning the letter rather then posting it. (1) a. Post this letter! 6⇒ b. Po...
متن کاملFree choice , modals , and imperatives
The article proposes an analysis of imperatives and possibility and necessity statements that (i) explains their differences with respect to the licensing of free choice any and (ii) accounts for the related phenomena of free choice disjunction in imperatives, permissions, and other possibility statements. Any and or are analyzed as operators introducing sets of alternative propositions. Free c...
متن کاملITRI-01-01 Relating Imperatives to Action
The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the use of logically complex imperatives, in particular, imperatives of the form`Do A1 or A2' and`Do A, if B'. I argue for an analysis of imperatives in terms of Classical Logic which takes into account the innuence of background information on imperatives. I show that by doing so one can avoid some counter-intuitive results which have been ass...
