自然语言中仅凭形式或结构有效的蕴涵和不有效的蕴涵之间有原则上的区别吗?本文以加雷斯·埃文斯的观点为出发点,提出了一个肯定的答案,即语义理论旨在通过揭示语言的语义自然种类来刻画接合处的真实性。我草拟了一个受埃文斯启发的语义类型的描述,并展示了它如何支持对结构蕴涵的原则性描述。我通过应用一个涉及副词蕴涵属性的案例研究来说明这一点;这涉及到开发一个关于副词的语义的新建议,比如‘快速’和‘缓慢’。在讨论的过程中,我探讨了模型理论工具在自然语言语义学中的地位的解释的一些含义。
Is there a principled difference between entailments in natural language that are valid solely in virtue of their form or structure and those that are not? This paper advances an affirmative answer to this question, one that takes as its starting point Gareth Evans’s suggestion that semantic theory aims to carve reality at the joints by uncovering the semantic natural kinds of the language. I sketch an Evans-inspired account of semantic kinds and show how it supports a principled account of structural entailment. I illustrate the account by application to a case study involving the entailment properties of adverbs; this involves developing a novel proposal about the semantics for adverbs like ‘quickly’ and ‘slowly’. In the course of the discussion I explore some implications of the account for the place of model-theoretic tools in natural language semantics.
