A structural tonk.
When logicians work with multiple-conclusion systems, they use a metalinguistic comma ',' to aggregate premisses and/or conclusions. In this note, I present an analogy between this comma and Prior's infamous connective tonk. The analogy reveals that these expressions have much in common. I argue tha...

In this note, I present an analogy between this comma and Prior's infamous connective tonk. The analogy reveals that these expressions have much in common. I argue that, indeed, the comma can be seen as a structural incarnation of tonk. The upshot is that, whatever story one has to tell about tonk , there are good reasons to tell a similar story about the comma in typical multiple-conclusion systems, and vice versa. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 The Analysis Trust. item: Analysis holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
