Inference Situations, Counter-Model Constructions and A Computer Implementation of A Logic Composed of Intersecting Adjectives and the Quantifier “More’’

Abstract

In this paper, we study the logic of language of $ L(More,IA) $. The logic contains the quantifier called ‘’ more ‘’ which makes cardinality comparisons can not be expressed in the language of the first order logic. The sentence forms are basically the form of ‘’There are more y than x .‘’ with x and y being common plural nouns. The sentence forms of common plural nouns combined with intersecting adjectives are ‘’There are more b y than a x.’’ with the intersecting adjectives a and b. We focus on derivation algorithms of the sentences having this type of quantifier and algorithms of construction of counter-models when the derivations are not provided.

Keywords

• Cardinality comparison,graph algorithms,intersecting adjectives
