Next Doc'in Nicod : Hady Ba, PhD student with François Récanati.
Thursday 31st of January, 17-18.30, Seminar Room, Pavillon Jardin.
Abstract :
In this talk, I will do three things. First, I will contrast linguist's LF with logicians logical form. I will then argue than given the formalization of LF given by May (1985), this level is equivalent with FOL with generalized quantifiers, and LF is nothing else than logicians' logical form. Finally, I will show how this equivalence should help us in settling some philosophical disputes, such as the debate over internalism and the very nature of standing meaning.
