Generalized quantifiers and modal logic
We study several modal languages in which some (sets of) generalized quantifiers can be represented; the main language we consider is suitable for defining any first order definable quantifier, but we also consider a sublanguage thereof, as well as a language for dealing with the modal counterparts of some higher order quantifiers. These languages are studied both from a modal logic perspective...
متن کاملModal Ontology and Generalized Quantifiers
Timothy Williamson has argued that in the debate on modal ontology, the familiar distinction between actualism and possibilism should be replaced by a distinction between positions he calls contingentism and necessitism. He has also argued in favor of necessitism, using results on quantified modal logic with plurally interpreted second-order quantifiers showing that necessitists can draw distin...
متن کاملGeneralized Quantifiers in Logic Programs
Generalized quantiiers are an important concept in model-theoretic logic which has applications in diierent elds such as linguistics , philosophical logic and computer science. In this paper, we consider a novel application in the eld of logic programming, which has been presented recently. The enhancement of logic programs by generalized quantiiers is a convenient tool for interfacing extra-lo...
متن کاملGeneralized Quantifiers in Dependence Logic
We introduce generalized quantifiers, as defined in Tarskian semantics by Mostowski and Lindström, in logics using the Hodges semantics, e.g., IF-logic and dependence logic. For this we introduce the multivalued dependence atom and observe the similarities with the, by Väänänen and Grädel, newly introduced independence atom.
متن کاملAlternating Set Quantifiers in Modal Logic
We establish the strictness of several set quantiVer alternation hierarchies that are based on modal logic, evaluated on various classes of Vnite graphs. This extends to the modal setting a celebrated result of Matz, Schweikardt and Thomas (2002), which states that the analogous hierarchy of monadic second-order logic is strict. Thereby, the present paper settles a question raised by van Benthe...
