An overview is presented for quantification in fuzzy theory. After a brief review of quantifiers in first-order logic, two approaches of generalizing quantifiers are given, the algebraic method and the substitution method. By distinguishing the fuzziness of predicates and quantifiers, various approaches...
This chapter introduces quantifiers and first-order logic. The first few sections demonstrate methods for designing proofs through preliminary versions of the Deduction Theorem for first-order logic, Substitutivity of Equivalences, and transformations into prenex forms. A final section derives features of...
For a long time it has been belived that elementary logic also called first-order logic was an ade quate theory of logical forms of natural language sentences. Recently it has been accepted that semantics of many natural language constructions can not be properly represented in elementary logic....
First-order logicProof-theoretic semanticsHarmony and stabilityFrege’s translationInspired by the grammar of natural language, the paper presents a variant of first-order logic, in which quantifiers are not sentential operators, but are used as subnectors (operators forming terms from formulas). A...
Chapter 10: The Logic of Quantifiers First-order logic The system of quantificational logic that we are studying is called “first-order logic” because of a restriction in what we can “quantify over.” Our language, FOL, contains both individual constants ...

In this paper, we introduce a technique for verifying quantitative hyperproperties based on the notion of trace enumeration relations. These relations allow us to reduce the problem of trace-counting into one of model-counting of formulas in first-order logic. We also introduce a set of ...
from a fairly elementary level to considerable depth over the course of sixteen chapters; their book will be invaluable to a broad spectrum of readers, from those with a basic knowledge of linguistic semantics and of first-order logic to those with advanced knowledge of semantics, logic, philosop...
1. In his paper Professor Hintikka attacks the idea that “the structures” of first order predicate logic “can serve and suffice as semantical representations of English sentences”; and he states that his objective is to show that this idea is “seriously inadequate”(p. 329 f.[153 f.]...
