The Logic of Logical Revision

By accepting the law of excluded middle, one accepts the truth or falsity of every sentence, so the undecidable sentence is either true or false. First, suppose it is false. Then it follows from the knowability principle that we ...

The One Fallacy Theory

Optimality in Sentence Processing

The first assumption concerns what constitutes the preferred parse. We follow standard practice in adopting as the preferred structure for an ambiguous input the struct ...

The Role of Language and Logic in Brouwer`s Work
