Description
  • Natural language has features that are not found in logically perfect artificial languages. One such feature is ambiguity. A logical analysis of such a piece of natural language will typically translate each of its unambiguous meanings into logically perfect notation. A sort of ambiguity is pivoted on topic or the focus articulation. In this chapter I deal with such ambiguities in natural language. I show that whereas articulating the topic of a sentence activates a presupposition, articulating the focus frequently yields mere entailment. Moreover, I propose a solution to the almost hundred-year old dispute over Strawsonian vs. Russellian definite description. Ancillary to my analysis is a general analytic schema of sentences coming with a presupposition. This analysis makes use of a strict definition of the %22if-then-else%22 connective known from programming languages. The framework of Tichý’s Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL) is background theory throughout my exposition.
