Algebraic Semantics and Mereology
Fall 2014 (Lecture notes version: Aug 4 th , 2014) 2 Preface Expressions like John and Mary or the water in my cup intuitively involve reference to collections of individuals or substances. The parthood relation between these collections and their components is not modeled in standard formal semantics of natural language (Montague 1974; Heim and Kratzer 1998), but it takes central stage in what...
متن کاملFunctorial semantics of topological theories
Following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by F.~W.~Lawvere in his PhD thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. The cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. We introduce t...
متن کاملDialectical Rough Sets, Parthood and Figures of Opposition
In one perspective, the central problem pursued in this research is that of the inverse problem in the context of general rough sets. The problem is about the existence of rough basis for given approximations in a context. Granular operator spaces were recently introduced by the present author as an optimal framework for anti-chain based algebraic semantics of general rough sets and the inverse...
متن کاملAN ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURE FOR INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY LOGIC
In this paper we extend the notion of degrees of membership and non-membership of intuitionistic fuzzy sets to lattices and introduce a residuated lattice with appropriate operations to serve as semantics of intuitionistic fuzzy logic. It would be a step forward to find an algebraic counterpart for intuitionistic fuzzy logic. We give the main properties of the operations defined and prove som...
متن کاملPlural Reference and Reference to a Plurality. A Reassessment of the Linguistic Facts
There are two fundamentally different views of the semantics of definite plural NPs. I will call them ‘Reference to a Plurality’ and ‘Plural Reference’. Reference to a Plurality is the view that definite plurals stand for a particular sort of entity, a plurality, more precisely a plurality ‘as one’. There are different formal conceptions of pluralities as ‘one’: as sums within extensional mereo...
