Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2020 AbstractWe investigate synonymy in the strong sense of content identity (and not just meaning similarity).

The Review of Symbolic Logic, 2014 Abstract Two salient notions of sameness of theories are synonymy, aka definitional equivalence, and bi-interpretability. Of these two definitional equivalence is the strictest notion. In which cases can we infer synonymy from bi-interpretability? We study this question for the case of sequential theories. Our result is as follows.
