Syntax Meets Semantics: Methods, Interactions, and Connections in Substructural logics. (SYSMICS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

Substructural logics are formal reasoning systems that refine classical logic by weakening the structural rules in Gentzen sequent calculus.While classical logic generally formalises the notion of truth, substructural logics allow to handle notions such as resources, vagueness, meaning, and language syntax, motivated by studies in computer science, epistemology, economy, and linguistics. Moreover, ...
