Meaning from a logical perspective

Abstract EN

This paper is intended to focus on the existing relation between 'logic' and 'meaning', and how 'meaning' is looked at through logical perspective.

Besides, this paper adopts simple logical symbols to represent some aspects of meaning.

Since meaning is still regarded as a thorny area that needs further study to determine its nature and borderline, this paper proposes to resort to logic and logical rules.

This paper points out how logical rules are used and how they clarify some oblique sentences.

The paper also sheds light on how meaningful sentences are logically symbolized and how logic can define the borderline of meaning in an adequate manner.

This paper hypothesizes that logic, logical rules, and logical symbolization can play a major role in solving problems related to meaning.

This paper consists of two sections ; section One is centered on 'meaning' as an aspect, and as a problematic concept.

Section one is a preliminary exhibition of meaning designed for the sake of clarification.

Whereas, Section Two is more inclusive in covering how logic deals with meaning and its analysis via logical rules.

Section Two touches upon 'logic', which provides a means for determining 'meaning'.

Some types of logic are dealt with in order to provide some insight in dealing with the thorny area of meaning and its analysis.

The paper has reached some beneficial conclusions which have much to do with adopting thriving use of logical rules in explaining vague sentences.
