Contributions to the compositional semantics of first-order predicate logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Henkin, Monk and Tarski gave a compositional semantics for first-order predicate logic. We extend this work by including function symbols in the language and by giving the denotation of the atomic formula as a composition of the denotations of its predicate symbol and of its tuple of arguments. In addition we give the denotation of a term as a composition of the denotations of its function symbol and of its tuple of arguments.

First-order Logic without bound variables: Compositional Semantics
An attractive format for semantics is that in which composite expressions are built up from atomic ones by means of the operation of concatenation and the concatenation XY expresses the application of a function denoted by X to an argument denoted by Y . The use of relative pronouns presents an obstacle to this form of compositional semantics, since the reference of a relative pronoun in one co...
متن کاملIncremental interpretation and dynamic semantics
The goal of this paper is to motivate and define a strictly incremental semantics for dynamic predicate logic (Groenendijk and Stokhof 1991). In particular, we will extend the incremental semantics for dynamic propositional logic introduced in Vermeulen (1994) to first-order predicate logic (borrowing central notions from Visser 2002). We call the resulting logical system Incremental Dynamic Pr...
متن کاملCompositional Semantics for the Procedural Interpretation of Logic
The composition of logic programs out of clauses has been studied semantically, but not the composition of a single clause out of its components. Structurally, a logic program can be regarded as a sentence in clausal form. In his procedural interpretation of logic programs, Kowalski has shown that a positive Horn clause can be viewed as a procedure in the programming sense. This interpretation ...

متن کاملTowards a Formal Distributional Semantics: Simulating Logical Calculi with Tensors
The development of compositional distributional models of semantics reconciling the empirical aspects of distributional semantics with the compositional aspects of formal semantics is a popular topic in the contemporary literature. This paper seeks to bring this reconciliation one step further by showing how the mathematical constructs commonly used in compositional distributional models, such ...
