A Variable Free Logic for Mass Terms
This paper presents a logic appropriate for mass terms, that is, a logic that does not presuppose interpretation in discrete models. Models may range from atomistic to atomless. This logic is a generalization of the author's work on natural language reasoning. The following claims are made for this logic. First, absence of variables makes it simpler than more conventional formalizations based o...
متن کاملA Variable-free Logic for Anaphora
In a series of papers from 1973 to 1982, Patrick Suppes developed a model-theoretic semantics for English. Suppes' semantics deviated sharply from the prevailing Montagovian semantics in that it employed neither quantifiers nor variables, had an extremely simple type structure, and was based on the algebra of sets and relations. This paper describes a logic designed to represent reasoning in En...
متن کاملUnsteady free convection flow between two vertical plates with variable temperature and mass diffusion
The unsteady free convection flow between two long vertical parallel plates withvariable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of the thermal radiation hasbeen presented. The governing dimensionless coupled linear partial differentialequations on the flow are solved by using the Laplace transform technique. TheExact solutions have been obtained for the fluid velocity, temperature and t...
متن کاملAnalytical Solution for Free Vibration of a Variable Cross-Section Nonlocal Nanobeam
In this article, small scale effects on free vibration analysis of non-uniform nanobeams is discussed. Small scale effects are modelled after Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory while the non-uniformity is presented by exponentially varying width among the beams length with constant thickness. Analytical solution is achieved for free vibration with different boundary conditions. It is shown th...
متن کاملMass Terms: A Philosophical Introduction
Complex phrases are also brought into the categorization, so that cutlery that is in the drawer and hot water are mass phrases while tree that is in the park and tall person are count phrases. I use ‘mass term’ and ‘count term’ to cover both nouns and more complex noun phrases. (As well, some theorists admit other grammatical categories into the count/mass realm: some verb phrases and some adje...
