On the logic of adverbs
Abstract
In this paper I investigate adverbial modication as an operation ap- plying an adverb or adverbial phrase to a predicate and thereby creating a new predicate. To this end I dene languages determined by a set P red of simple predicates, a system Mod of predicate modiers, and a class X of individual constants. If L is such a language, it employs the symbols that determine it and, in addition, the following symbols: ; f; \; 0 ; 8; individual variables; and punctuation symbols.
