Vít Punčochář: Information-based semantics and related frameworks

Vít Punčochář (Institute of Philosophy):
Information-based semantics and related frameworks

Abstract
Information-based semantics is a semantic approach that builds on the idea that sentences classify information states rather than possible worlds. This approach has been used extensively in the context of a logical analysis of questions but it turns out that there are interesting connections to various other logical frameworks that have been introduced independently for different purposes. In my talk I will address some of these connections that will be further discussed during the subsequent workshop. In particular, I will address the connections to dependence logic, proof-theoretic semantics, truthmaker semantics and type theory.

The lecture precedes the Friday workshop dedicated to information-based semantics and related frameworks.
