Linglib.Semantics.Entailment.StrawsonSoundness

Strawson-relativized soundness #

[vF99a]'s Strawson move, at signature level: a projection row holds modulo presuppositions when the projected relation holds on the region where the arguments' presuppositions are satisfied. NLRelation.HoldsOn D relativizes the lattice content of a relation to a region D; EntailmentSig.StrawsonSoundFor σ f defined is SoundFor with every projected relation read on defined x ⊓ defined y — the symmetric definedness gate of [Gaj11]'s Strawson anti-additivity. Classical soundness is the trivial-definedness case (strawsonSoundFor_top_iff) and implies the Strawson form at any definedness (EntailmentSig.SoundFor.strawsonSoundFor).

The operator instances are the semantic content of the classicalSignature = none rows of Semantics.Polarity.Licensing.contextProperties: onlyFull, sorryFull, superlativeAssert, and sinceFull realize the .anti row Strawson-ly while failing it classically.

Main declarations #

Composing definedness along a path is presupposition projection and is deliberately not attempted here — its home is a bridge to Semantics/Presupposition/, not an ad-hoc operator.

def NaturalLogic.NLRelation.HoldsOn {β : Type u_1} [Lattice β] [BoundedOrder β] (D : β) :
NLRelationββProp

The lattice content of a relation, relativized to a region D (the worlds where the relevant presuppositions are satisfied). At D = ⊤ this is NLRelation.Holds (holdsOn_top).

    theorem NaturalLogic.NLRelation.holdsOn_top {β : Type u_1} [Lattice β] [BoundedOrder β] {R : NLRelation} {u v : β} :
    HoldsOn R u v R.Holds u v

    At trivial definedness, relativized content is plain content.

    theorem NaturalLogic.NLRelation.Holds.holdsOn {β : Type u_1} [Lattice β] [BoundedOrder β] {R : NLRelation} {u v : β} (D : β) (h : R.Holds u v) :
    HoldsOn D R u v

    Plain content implies relativized content on any region.

    def NaturalLogic.EntailmentSig.StrawsonSoundFor {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} [Lattice α] [BoundedOrder α] [Lattice β] [BoundedOrder β] (σ : EntailmentSig) (f defined : αβ) :

    σ's row is Strawson-sound for f relative to defined: every projected relation holds on the region where both arguments' presuppositions are satisfied — the symmetric gate of [Gaj11]'s IsStrawsonAntiAdditive.

      Classical soundness implies Strawson soundness at any definedness.

      Strawson soundness at trivial definedness is classical soundness.

      The Strawson-DE operator zoo, at signature level #

      theorem NaturalLogic.strawsonSoundFor_anti_of_isStrawsonDE {W : Type u_1} {W' : Type u_2} {f : Set WSet W'} {defined : Set WW'Prop} (h : Entailment.IsStrawsonDE f defined) :
      EntailmentSig.anti.StrawsonSoundFor f fun (p : Set W) => {w : W' | defined p w}

      [vF99a]'s Strawson-DE, at signature level: a Strawson-DE operator realizes the .anti row relative to its definedness.

      theorem NaturalLogic.onlyFull_strawsonSoundFor_anti {W : Type u_1} (x : WProp) :
      EntailmentSig.anti.StrawsonSoundFor (Entailment.onlyFull x) fun (scope : Set W) => {_w : W | ∃ (w' : W), x w' scope w'}

      only realizes the .anti row Strawson-ly (definedness = its existence presupposition) while failing it classically (onlyFull_not_de).

      theorem NaturalLogic.sorryFull_strawsonSoundFor_anti {W : Type u_1} (dox bestOf : WSet W) :
      EntailmentSig.anti.StrawsonSoundFor (Entailment.sorryFull dox bestOf) fun (p : Set W) => {w : W | w'dox w, p w'}

      Adversatives (sorry, regret, surprised) realize the .anti row Strawson-ly (definedness = doxastic factivity) while failing it classically (sorryFull_not_de).

      Superlatives realize the .anti row Strawson-ly in their restriction (definedness = the designated-subject presupposition).

      theorem NaturalLogic.sinceFull_strawsonSoundFor_anti {W : Type u_1} (pastEvent sinceWindow : WSet W) :
      EntailmentSig.anti.StrawsonSoundFor (Entailment.sinceFull pastEvent sinceWindow) fun (p : Set W) => {w : W | w'pastEvent w, p w'}

      Temporal since realizes the .anti row Strawson-ly (definedness = the past-event presupposition).
