This article proposes that predicate order and coherence relations are the two major determining factors in copredication licensing, resolving a long-standing puzzle over criteria for constructing acceptable copredications. The effects of ordering claimed to be anchored around semantic complexity, such copredications with semantically Simple–Complex orderings more than reverse. motivates parsin...

Abstract We present a semantic framework for the deductive verification of hybrid systems with Isabelle/HOL. It supports reasoning about temporal evolutions programs in style differential dynamic logic modelled by flows or invariant sets vector fields. introduce foundations this and summarise their Isabelle formalisation as well resulting components. A series simple examples shows our approach ...

We describe and compare design choices for meta-predicate semantics, as found in representative Prolog module systems and in Logtalk. We look at the consequences of these design choices from a pragmatic perspective, discussing explicit qualification semantics, computational reflection support, expressiveness of meta-predicate declarations, safety of meta-predicate definitions, portability of me...

It is well-known that there exist consistent first-order theories that become inconsistent when we add Tarski’s schema T. This is Tarski’s Theorem. To avoid the inconsistency result, one can restrict Tarski’s schema in different ways. In our paper we restrict Tarski’s schema T by only instantiating the schema with a proper subset of the set of all sentences. We prove several results concerning ...

Let V be a set of number-theoretical functions. We define notion absolute -realizability for predicate formulas and sequents in such way that the indices functions are used interpreting implication universal quantifier. In this article, we prove Basic Predicate Calculus is sound with respect to semantics if satisfies some natural conditions.

unlike the languages we know, some of the arabic sentences form without any verbs. arab grammarians call these sentences, which contain a subject and a predicate without any linking verbs, nominal sentences. examining theses sentences indicates that their predicate is composed of one of the following words or structures: 1. noun, 2. prepositional phrase, 3. an adverb of time or place, 4. a nomi...

In this paper, we provide a semantic study of the first-order predicate logic for situations involving uncertainty. We introduce the concepts of uncertain predicate proposition, uncertain predicate formula, uncertain interpretation and degree of truth in the framework of uncertainty theory. Compared with classical predicate formula taking true value in {0, 1}, the degree of truth of uncertain p...
