On Logics of Transitive Verbs With and Without Intersective Adjectives
Keywords:
Logic of natural languages; adjectives; transitive relations; transitive verbs; relational syllogistics.Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the natural logic program which invents logics in natural language. This study presents two logics: a logical system containing transitive verbs and a more expressive logical system containing both transitive verbs and intersective adjectives. The paper offers three different set-theoretic semantics which are equivalent for the logics.
