A natural question is whether it offers anything new over and above existing standard languages. By analysing a number of applications where combined logics arise, we argue that combined logics are a potentially valuable tool in applied logic, and that endorsements of standard languages often miss the point. Using the history of quantified modal logic as our main example, we also show that the use of combined structures and logics is a recurring theme in the analysis of existing logical systems.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Blackburn:1995:WCL.pdf Blackburn:1995:WCL.ps} } @Article{Blackburn_de Rijke:1996, AUTHOR = {Blackburn, Patrick and de Rijke, Maarten}, TITLE = {Combining Logics.

To this end, we introduce modal languages and their interpretation in models and frames in Part II. We define and discuss the notion of a modal formula characterizing a class of frames or models, and give the Sahlqvist algorithm which yields, given a suitable modal formula as input, the corresponding first-order condition on the class of frames characterized by the formula. We define the concept of a normal modal logic and explain the canonical frame method for proving completeness of a logic with respect to classes of frames. In Part III we develop the algebraic perspective on modal logic. We introduce boolean algebras with operators and show how they arise naturally in both the semantic and the axiomatic approach towards algebraizing modal logic. We discuss in detail how the category of boolean algebras with operators and homomorphisms links up with the category of frames with so-called bounded morphisms. Finally, we apply this duality to give easy proofs for some important and well-known results from modal logic.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Blackburn:1994:AML.ps Blackburn:1994:AML.dvi} } @TechReport{Blackburn_et_al:1995, AUTHOR = {Blackburn, Patrick and de Rijke, Maarten and Vennema, Ide}, TITLE = {Relational Methods in Logic, Language and Information}, YEAR = {1995}, MONTH = {September}, NUMBER = {65}, ADDRESS = {Saarbrücken}, TYPE = {CLAUS-Report}, INSTITUTION = {Universität des Saarlandes}, URL = {ftp://ftp.coli.uni-sb.de/pub/coli/claus/claus65.ps}, ABSTRACT = {This paper discusses the use of relational methods in the interdisciplinary field of Logic, Language and Information.

Giving a clear graphical representation of the relationship between different readings, the stand-alone version of the system can be used as a classroom tool. Furthermore the core system can be incorporated into other discourse processing systems (e.g. Johan Bos' DORIS system (Bos 1998) where one might want to ignore logically equivalent readings in order to keep the number of readings small and thus improve efficiency. The system relies heavily on existing implementations and code available via the internet. These are integrated and put to the desired use by a Prolog interface. By illustrating the architecture of this system, we want to argue that it is possible to build rather complex systems involving multiple levels of linguistic processing without having to spend an unreasonably large amount of time on the implementation of basic functionalities.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Gabsdil:1999:CSA.pdf Gabsdil:1999:CSA.ps} }
