Abstract

Natural Logic. In 1970, G. Lakoff published a paper [8] in which he introduced the concept of natural logic with the following goals:

  • to express all concepts capable of being expressed in natural language,

  • to characterize all the valid inferences that can be made in natural language,

  • to mesh with adequate linguistic descriptions of all natural languages.
