    Edited by J. Peregrin ...

Tarski's famous and ingenious move was to introduce a new concept, satisfaction, which could be, on the one hand, recursively defined, and which, on the other hand, ... Read more

    A Semantic Investigation of the Role of Modalities in the Structure of Arguments with an Application to Italian Modal Expressions

    by Andrea Rocci ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)

  • The Logic of Metaphor

    Analogous Parts of Possible Worlds

    by Eric Steinhart ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Metaphors and Logic Metaphors are among the most vigorous offspring of the creative mind; but their vitality springs from the fact that they are logical organisms in the ecology of l- guage. I aim to use logical techniques to analyze the meanings of metaphors. My goal here is to show how contemporary formal semantics can be extended to handle metaphorical utterances. What distinguishes this work ... Read more
