Models of vagueness

Semester II 2003

Dr Arcady Blinov

(Room 106 Education, 11 August 2003, 12 noon)

Abstract

In this seminar Dr Blinov discusses a conflict between logical and linguistic uses of supervaluations as applied to sentences that involve vagueness and future tense. The technique that makes the conflict amenable to analysis is Jaakko Hintikka's Game Theoretical Semantics, so the seminar will also serve as an introduction to this approach.
