LING 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Truth Condition, Principle Of Compositionality
Document Summary
Truth conditions: a list of conditions under which a situation will be true. There are many cases, in principle, that we cannot decide whether a sentence is true or not. This sentence is false: b. (b) is false, problem: these sentences refer to themselves a known recipe to create paradoxes and other pathological phenomena, the liar paradox (read on wiki) Will you answer this question in the same way the same way that you will answer the next: 2. These however, are not reallyyy important because they do not come up in everyday life. Modern semantics: under what conditions a sentence is true. Some explicit rules that provide the truth conditions of sentences. Semantics: some exlicit rules that provide the truth condition of well-formed sentences, based on its structure compositionality. They can appear in the singular without a determiner. They cannot appear in the singular preceded by a or every.
