Generative syntax | Syntactic transformation
In generative grammar and related approaches, the logical form (LF) of a linguistic expression is the variant of its syntactic structure which undergoes semantic interpretation. It is distinguished from phonetic form, the structure which corresponds to a sentence's pronunciation. These separate representations are postulated in order to explain the ways in which an expression's meaning can be partially independent of its pronunciation, e.g. scope ambiguities. LF is the cornerstone of the classic generative view of the syntax-semantics interface. However, it is not used in Lexical Functional Grammar and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, as well as some modern variants of the generative approach. (Wikipedia).
Logic: The Structure of Reason
As a tool for characterizing rational thought, logic cuts across many philosophical disciplines and lies at the core of mathematics and computer science. Drawing on Aristotle’s Organon, Russell’s Principia Mathematica, and other central works, this program tracks the evolution of logic, be

Truth Conditional Meaning in Model Theory (Fragment F1) - Semantics in Linguistics
We introduce the model theory of fragment F1 in Chierchia and McConnel-Ginet (2000)'s book on #semantics in #linguistics. We cover the meaning of proper nouns, intransitive verbs, transitive verbs, negation, and conjunctions, as well as how to derive meaning of larger constituents. We do a

Logical Argument Forms: Generalizations, Specialization, Contradiction

NOUN PHRASES - ENGLISH GRAMMAR
We discuss noun phrases. Noun phrases consist of a head noun, proper name, or pronoun. Noun phrases can be modified by adjective phrases or other noun phrases. Noun phrases take determiners as specifiers. We also draw trees for noun phrase. you want to support the channel, hit the "JOIN"

We begin our exploration into logic by analyzing LOGICAL STATEMENTS: 1) Define what a logical statement is 2) Recognize examples as logical statements or not logical statements 3) Use the symbols for "not", "and", and "or". 4) Break down a sentence into its logical structure. **********

Early Philosophical Thought (East Asia and India)
Philosophy has its roots all over the world, and although the best preserved documents are from the Western world, which is why this topic is so frequently studied from a Western perspective, there are a number of Eastern thinkers that are very much worth discussing. Let's visit Egypt, Ira

We take a look at Scope Ambiguity in this #semantics and #syntax video in #linguistics. We look at logical form to see how we can represent this in a tree structure to get two meanings. We also look at a little trick of translating predicate logic sentences with more than one quantifier.
