Modal logic

Deontic modality

Deontic modality (abbreviated DEO) is a linguistic modality that indicates how the world ought to be according to certain norms, expectations, speaker desires, etc. In other words, a deontic expression indicates that the state of the world (where 'world' is loosely defined here in terms of the surrounding circumstances) does not meet some standard or ideal, whether that standard be social (such as laws), personal (desires), etc. The sentence containing the deontic modal generally indicates some action that would change the world so that it becomes closer to the standard or ideal. This category includes the following subcategories: * Commissive modality (the speaker's commitment to do something, like a promise or threat; alethic logic or temporal logic would apply): "I shall help you." * (commands, requests, etc.; deontic logic would apply): "Come!", "Let's go!", "You've got to taste this curry!" * Volitive modality (wishes, desires, etc.; boulomaic logic would apply): "If only I were rich!" A related type of modality is dynamic modality, which indicates a subject's internal capabilities or willingness as opposed to external factors such as permission or orders given. (Wikipedia).

The Logical Structure of Human Civilization (John Searle)

The distinctive features of human civilization, as opposed to animal societies, are such things as money, property, marriage, government, etc. These are created and partly constituted by linguistic representations. For this reason, they all have logical, propositional structures. John Sear

SYN122 - The Function of the Verb - Tense

This first of a series of three E-Lectures deals with the function of the verb in PDE, in particular with the notion of tense. Prof. Handke explains why PDE has only two tenses, the present and the past tense, and how they are used. The discussion why PDE has no future tense concludes this
