许多语言学家和语言哲学家可能听说过信息独立性，但他们中的大多数人，甚至不是所有人，都认为它是自然语言语义学的边缘特征。然而，实际上，它在英语等语言中是一种普遍现象。在本文中，我们将发展一个明确的统一形式处理所有不同种类的语言语义学的信息独立性。这种处理相当于一种新的逻辑类型，因此可以进行研究。我们还将提请注意几个实际的语言现象，这些语言现象例证了信息独立性，并提供了信息独立性普遍存在的证据。最后但并非最不重要的是，我们将表明，信息独立的现象提示几个非常有趣的方法问题和建议。
Many linguists and philosophers of language may have heard of informational independence, but most, not to say virtually all, of them consider it as a marginal feature of the semantics of natural languages. Yet in reality it is a widespread phenomenon in languages like English. In this paper, we shall develop an explicit unified formal treatment of all the different varieties of informational independence in linguistic semantics. This treatment amounts to a new type of logic, which is thereby opened for investigation. We shall also call attention to several actual linguistic phenomena which instantiate informational independence and provide evidence of its ubiquity. Last but not least, we shall show that the phenomenon of informational independence prompts several highly interesting methodological problems and suggestions.
