Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

To obtain knowledge of a rather young discipline that belongs to the foundations of, e.g., Artificial Intelligence. A precise specification of the meaning of a natural language expression consists in finding the logical construction - structure represented by the expression. We aim at a correct, accurate analysis in order to perform just the adequate inferences, i.e. to deduce just all the logical consequences that follow from a given statement, to prevent paradoxical arguments.

Summary

A student is informed on basic problems, which are dealt with in the discipline Logical Analysis of (natural) Language. The shortcomings of traditional solutions within a predicate logic are examined. Using Transparent Intensional Logic a student will learn to solve these problems in such a way that undesirable paradoxical arguments are avoided. Correct, fine-grained logical analysis, i.e. the respective logical construction, is a necessary condition of performing adequate inferences, and it can serve as a basis for knowledge representaiotn in knowledge based systems. An (automated) translation into another language is made feasible as well.

Subject syllabus:

Lectures: Introduction. What is the meaning of a natural language expression? Logical entailment (consequence relation) as a subject matter of logic. Paradoxical arguments - an inadequate analysis of premises. Constraints of the 1st-order predicate logic: An insufficient degree of expressiveness, extensionality. Frege's problem, the paradox of analysis. Frege-Church schema: What do we speak about and the way we speak about it. Denotational semantics vs. procedural semantics. Transparent intensional logic (TIL): Characteristic features, philosophy. The simple theory of types, epistemic base, possible worlds, intensions vs. extensions. The key notion of TIL - construction. The problem of (non)existence, modalities, tenses. Analysis of interrogative sentences, queries. The ramified theory of types, meaning conceived as a concept - closed construction. Solutions of the paradox of analysis and omniscience. Homonymous, synonymous and equivalent expressions. Analysis of expressions with empty concepts as constituents. Using and mentioning concepts. Partial functions, presuppositions, de re vs. de dicto suppositions. Propositional and notional attitudes. Problems connected with using partial functions. Exercises: Basic notions of predicate logic (PL) Correct arguments that are not justifiable using PL Type analysis of simple mathematical expressions Intensions vs. extensions Analysis of mathematical expressions - finding the TIL construction Analysis of (non)existence Modalities (the analysis of possibility and necessity) Analysis of interrogative sentences Ramified theory of types, the theory of concept Expressions involving empty concepts, using and mentioning Presupposition, supposition de dicto / de re Propositional and notional attitudes Problems connected with using partial functions
