logical form or covert syntax is a syntactic level introduced in recent generative approaches. using the ideas of first-order predicate logic, it interprets the strings whose elements cannot move in s–structure, because an element moves if it does not acquire its necessary scope. but unlike the predicate logic, logical form is based on syntactic principles and rules. therefore, logical form is ...

This thesis provides a model–theoretic semantic analysis of aspects of the LF logical framework. The LF logical framework is the λΠ-calculus together with the judgements-as-types representation mechanism. A denotational semantics is provided for the λΠ-calculus in terms of Kripke λΠ-models. These are a generalization of the Kripke lambda models of Mitchell and Moggi to dependent types and are b...

The Gestalt school of psychological thought originated in Germany early in the 20 th century (for a comprehensive review, see Koffka, 1935). It is best known for its theoretical and empirical contributions to understanding the organization of perceptual experience, including the nature of perceived groups, objects, parts, properties, and the relations among them, but was extended to address iss...

The pretheoretical notions of logical consequence and of a logical expression are linked in vague and complex ways to modal and pragmatic intuitions. I offer an introduction to the difficulties that these intuitions create when one attempts to give precise characterizations of those notions. Special attention is given to Tarski’s theories of logical consequence and logical constancy. I note tha...

Following Aristotle, Averroes rejects atomism and the infinite division of geometric lines. Thus, his arguments dealt with continuity contiguity non-atomic parts motion. He vindicates perceptual aspect physical movement that shows itself like in-progress-path between two edge points A B, in which there are middle where qualitative, local, or quantitative changes occur. Ramon Llull took lines’ g...
