Conservative Intensional Extension of Tarski's Semantics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we considered an extension of the First-order Logic (FOL) by Bealer’s intensional abstraction operator. Contemporary use of the term ’intension’ derives from the traditional logical Frege-Russell’s doctrine that an idea (logic formula) has both an extension and an intension. Although there is divergence in formulation, it is accepted that the ’extension’ of an idea consists of the subjects to which the idea applies, and the ’intension’ consists of the attributes implied by the idea. From the Montague’s point of view, the meaning of an idea can be considered as particular extensions in different possible worlds. In the case of standard FOL we obtain a commutative homomorphic diagram which is valid in each given possible world of an intensional FOL: from a free algebra of the FOL syntax, into its intensional algebra of concepts, and, successively, into an extensional relational algebra (different from Cylindric algebras). Then we show that this composition corresponds to the Tarski’s interpretation of the standard extensional FOL in this possible world.

A Formal Treatment of Non-Deterministic Dataflow Streams in Intensional Logic Programming∗
Intensional logic programming is an alternative to concurrent logic programming languages which employ infinitary data structures such as streams to specify non-terminating computations. Wadge has proposed a logical extension to intensional logic programming, i.e., choice predicates, though which dataflow-style computations can be naturally expressed. This paper discusses the model-theoretical ...
متن کاملAN EXTENSION OF THE MONTAGUE SEMANTICS by PHILIPPE DELSARTE and ANDRÉ THAYSE
Several authors have pointed out some limitations inherent in Montague's approach to naturallanguage representation, and have attempted to remedy these limitations by working out suitable extensions of the Montague formalism. One of these limitations originates from the fact that logical connectives and modal operators can only be applied to formulae and not to arbitrary logical expressions, wh...
متن کاملIntensional First-Order Logic for P2P Database Systems
The meaning of concepts and views defined over a database ontology can be considered as intensional objects which have a particular extension in a given possible world: for instance in the actual world. Thus, non invasive mapping between completely independent peer databases in a P2P systems can be naturally specified by the set of couples of views, which have the same meaning (intension), over...
متن کاملIntensional equality for process calculi based on ε-structures
The subject of the thesis is firstly to add to the understanding of the notion of intensional equality in process setting which is a complementary notion to the extensional equality and secondly to give an intensional set-theoretic semantics for processes in -structures which allows non-well-founded sets for modelling self-reference. The intensional equality allows to distinguish processes by t...
متن کاملSound and Complete Query Answering in Intensional P2P Data Integration
Contemporary use of the term ’intension’ derives from the traditional logical doctrine that an idea has both an extension and an intension. In this paper we introduce an intensional FOL (First-order-logic) for P2P systems by fusing the Bealer’s intensional algebraic FOL with the S5 possible-world semantics of the Montague, we define the intensional equivalence relation for this logic and the we...
