Basic combinatorics: Canonical examples

(the following exercises are adapted from the textbook material to [Chapter 5].

1 Sentence: Pat snored.
Logical form: snore(pat)
Which parts of the logical form are contributed by which word?

pat ¦ snore ¦ snore(pat)
Pat
snored

2 Sentence: Pat likes Chris.
Logical form: like(pat,chris)
Which parts of the logical form are contributed by which word?

Chris


Possible EX-CONT values

Given the following PARTS lists, what are possible EX-CONT values (if we do not assume other restrictions)

1. PARTS < pat, alex,like, like(__,__) >

Check your answer

like(pat,alex)
like(alex,pat)


2. PARTS < alex,snore, snore(__), ¬(__) >

Check your answer

¬(snore(alex))


3. PARTS < alex,alex,snore >

Check your answer

There is no possible EX-CONT value because the three elements on the PARTS list cannot be combined.


3. PARTS < alex,alex,snore, snore(__) >

Check your answer

snore(alex)

4. PARTS < alex,alex,snore, snore(__), __ ∧ __ >

Check your answer
