• Title:
  First-Order Logic with Adverbs
• Creator:
  Haze, Tristan Grøtvedt
• Description:
  This paper introduces two languages and associated logics designed to afford perspicuous representations of a range of natural language arguments involving adverbs and the like: first-order logic with basic adverbs (FOL-BA) and first-order logic with scoped adverbs (FOL-SA). The guiding logical idea is that an adverb can come between a term and the rest of the statement it is a part of, resulting in a logically stronger statement. I explain various interesting challenges that arise in the attempt to implement the guiding idea, and provide solutions for some but not all of them. I conclude by outlining some directions for further research.
