Conditionals and Pseudo-Conditionals in Mathematical Texts
نویسنده
چکیده
Conditionals are the basic ingredient of a mathematical argument. We present an analysis of conditionals and pseudo-conditional in mathematical discourse, and then propose a computational framework for the (re-)construction and semantic representation of conditional dependencies.

Noticing through Input Enhancement:Does it Affect Learning of the Conditionals?
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether noticing through input enhancement had any impact on the acquisition of English conditional sentences in Iranian EFL learners. Two intact classes with 26 female students in each were chosen. A proficiency test administered at the commencement of the study showed that the two groups were homogeneous in terms of their language proficiency....
متن کاملWorkshop: Rationality frameworks for conditionals
This workshop brings together philosophers and psychologists and fo-cuses on investigating conditionals from formal and empirical points of views. The topics (listed in alphabetical order) include but are not restricted to: • causality and conditionals • conditional structures • experimental paradigms for conditionals • learning conditionals (i.e., conditionalizing on conditionals) • probabilis...
متن کاملA Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina’s Theory of the Conditional Syllogism
This paper will examine Ibn Sina’s theory of the Conditional Syllogism from a purely logical point of view, and will lay bare the principles he adopted for founding his theory, and the reason why the newly introduced part of his logic remained undeveloped and eventually was removed from the texts of logic in the later Islamic tradition. As a preliminary discussion, this paper briefly examines I...
متن کاملOn the Semantic Composition of Subjunctive Conditionals
In this paper, I offer a unified semantic analysis of subjunctive conditionals that purports to account for their truth and felicity-conditions. The proposal is centered on the claim that the temporal morphology that occurs in subjunctive conditionals in several genetically unrelated languages plays an essential role in the composition of their meaning. I will argue for a time-dependent notion ...
متن کاملExplicitly Avoid False Conditionals
An infestation of termites is weakening mathematical writing. We all too often resort to wishy-washy conditionals such as ‘can be’ or ‘wish to’ hidden within the body of sentences. Just as termites weaken a building, these conditionals erode writing by turning what should be definite statements into weak conditionals. Get rid of them. If in your analysis or computational experiments you do some...
