Deontic and Epistemic Modals in Suppositional [Inquisitive] Semantics

2019
In Groenendijk and Roelofsen (2015) a suppositional semantics for implication is proposed within the general framework of inquisitive semantics. Our aim is to extend this semantic approach to epistemic and deontic modals, but, for the purposes of this short paper, we bracketed off inquisitive aspects of meaning. To illustrate the semantics we discuss a

Fuzzy Truth, Fuzzy Support and Fuzzy Information States for Inquisitive Semantics

Proceedings of the Twentieth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2023
In logic, the meaning of a sentence is usually reduced to its truth conditions. However, this makes sense only for declarative sentences. In order to model also the meaning of questions, inquisitive semantics replaces the truth-conditional approach relating sentences to possible worlds with a support-conditional approach that relates sentences to ...

Inquisitive semantics and pragmatics

2009
This paper starts with an informal introduction to inquisitive semantics. After that, we present a formal definition of the semantics, and introduce the basic semantic notions of inquisitiveness and informativeness, in terms of wich we define the semantic categories of questions, assertions, and hybrid sentences.The focus of this paper will be on the ...

Avoiding Impossibility Theorems in Radical Inquisitive Semantics

2015
In nonradical inquisitive semantics, an intuitionistic Kripke model captures how group knowledge increases throughout a conversation and allows the inquisitive meaning of a sentence to be derived from its classical meaning. In radical inquisitive semantics, as proposed by Groenendijk and Roelofsen, positive and negative ways of reacting to a proposal ...

Reconciling Inquisitive Semantics and Generalized Quantifier Theory

2019
This paper proposes a new treatment of quantifiers under the theoretical framework of Inquisitive Semantics (IS). After discussing the difficulty in treating quantifiers under the existing IS framework, I propose a new treatment of quantifiers that combines features of IS and the Generalized Quantifier Theory (GQT).
