Psychosemantic analyticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
It is widely agreed that the content of a logical concept such as and is constituted by the inferences it enters into. I argue that it is impossible to draw a principled distinction between logical and non-logical concepts, and hence that the content of ...

Real, Immediate, Multiple: Towards a Theory of Definition

open access: yesMetaphysics
In ‘Senses of Essence’ Kit Fine tentatively proposed that one could take the notion of real definition as basic and define essence in terms of it. Building on Litland 2023 this paper begins to develop an account where the notion of full, immediate real ...

Search Condition-Hiding Query Evaluation on Encrypted Databases

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Private database query (PDQ) is a protocol between a client and a database server, designed for processing queries to encrypted databases. Specifically, PDQ enables a client to submit a search query and to learn a resulting set satisfying its search ...

Representing Isabelle in LF

open access: yes, 2010
LF has been designed and successfully used as a meta-logical framework to represent and reason about object logics. Here we design a representation of the Isabelle logical framework in LF using the recently introduced module system for LF.

The Epistemic Significance of Valid Inference – A Model-Theoretic Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The problem analysed in this paper is whether we can gain knowledge by using valid inferences, and how we can explain this process from a model-theoretic perspective.

Linking the Syntactic and Semantic Representation of Complex Structures within the Old English Domain of Speech

open access: yesMiscelánea: A Journal of English and American Studies, 2002
In order to reflect the interaction between the semantic and syntactic behaviour of predicates, the notion of lexical template has been devised as a way of including syntactic and semantic information within the same lexical representation, reflecting ...

Revisiting Dummett's Proof-Theoretic Justification Procedures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dummett’s justification procedures are revisited. They are used as background for the discussion of some conceptual and technical issues in proof-theoretic semantics, especially the role played by assumptions in proof-theoretic definitions of ...

Analytic Tableaux for Simple Type Theory and its First-Order Fragment

open access: yes, 2010
We study simple type theory with primitive equality (STT) and its first-order fragment EFO, which restricts equality and quantification to base types but retains lambda abstraction and higher-order variables.

Pourquoi le Grundgedanke (T. 4.0312) de Wittgenstein est si “Fondamental”?

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 1998
La pensée fondamentale de Wittgenstein affirme que les constantes logiques ne représentent pas, ne fonctionnent pas sémantiquement comme des noms. En apparence triviale, cette pensée, nous le montrerons, à des ramifications étonnantes dans la philosophie

Reduction algorithms for solving large systems of logical equations [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Science Journal of Moldova, 2000
Large systems of logical equations are considered in this paper, each depending on a restricted number of variables. A method of reduction is suggested that reduces the number of roots in separate equations, which in its turn saves time spent for finding
