Proof-Theoretic Semantics and Inquisitive Logic

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2021
Inquisitive semantics is made in order to offer a uniform approach to assertions and questions, where propositions are treated as sets of sets of possible worlds closed under subsets, naturally followed by the corresponding general inquisitive logic obtained as its generalisation. \textit{D.

A Generalization of Inquisitive Semantics

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2015
This is an interesting, clear and well-written paper on inquisitive semantics. Formal \textit{inquisitive semantics}, as well as the propositional version of \textit{dependence logic}, share the characteristic that formulas are related to sets of possible worlds and not just to single worlds.

Inquisitive Semantics: A New Notion of Meaning

Language and Linguistics Compass, 2013
Abstract This paper presents a notion of meaning that captures both informative and inquisitive content, which forms the cornerstone of inquisitive semantics. The new notion of meaning is explained and motivated in detail, and compared to previous inquisitive notions of meaning.

M -fuzzifying basic inquisitive semantics

Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2019
The basic system of inquisitive semantics (InqB) established by Groenendijk et al. is a general inquisitive semantic theory which doesn’t concern fuzziness. To explain the fuzzy phenomena in natural languages, this paper extends InqB into the framework of M -fuzzifying setting and establishes a basic system of

A First-Order Inquisitive Semantics

2010
This paper discusses the extension of propositional inquisitive semantics [Ciardelli and Roelofsen, 2009a, Groenendijk and Roelofsen, 2009] to the first order setting. We show that such an extension requires essential changes in some of the core notions of inquisitive semantics, and we propose and motivate a semantics which retains the essential ...

Algebraic Foundations for Inquisitive Semantics

2011
Traditionally, meaning is identified with informative content. The central aim of inquisitive semantics [1,2,4,5, a.o.] is to develop a notion of semantic meaning that embodies both informative and inquisitive content. To achieve this, the proposition expressed by a sentence ϕ, [ϕ], is not taken to be a set of possible worlds, but rather a set of ...

Towards a Suppositional Inquisitive Semantics

2015
One of the primary usages of language is to exchange information. This can be done directly, as in Will Susan sing? No, she won't, but it is also often done in a less direct way, as in If Pete plays the piano, will Susan sing? No, if Pete plays the piano, Susan won't sing.

ellipsis in inquisitive semantics

2019
AbstractWork in inquisitive semantics has developed an alternative-rich notion of semantic content which is uniform across questions and assertions. This chapter explores the ramifications of this view for the theory of ellipsis. It examines these issues primarily by focusing on the analysis of a particular ellipsis process in English: sluicing ...
