Logic in linguistics: semiotic square and pragmatic intentional states

Abstract

Some linguistic theories are filled with logical terms and operators. As examples we chose two areas – Semiotics and Pragmatics – and one subject in each of them: the semiotic square and the intentional states. Although unfamiliarity of logic operations does not affect the general understanding of the subject, it complicates the understanding of the treatment that is given to the terms.

Keywords
