Abstract

Legal texts consist of hierarchically ordered and labeled (numbered) structural units (sections, subsections, paragraphs, etc.). Using the ordered layout and the labels the different parts of structural units can be easily localized and clearly referred. Nearly one-third of the structural units in the statutes we have examined are list items that can be considered as elliptical. In such cases the list items---each with unique identifying label (number)---are not complete propositions. We have trained the computer to recognize these lists and the different units and elements in them, and to create complete sentences from these. We will introduce some logical considerations that have to be reckoned with if we intend to use these complete sentences to create logical assignments to the legal regulation's content: we show how this technique influences the logical description of norms.

On Blass Translation for Leśniewski’s Propositional Ontology and Modal Logics
Abstract
In this paper, we shall give another proof of the faithfulness of Blass translation (for short, B-translation) of the propositional fragment $L_{1}$ of Leśniewski’s ontology in the modal logic $K$ by means of Hintikka formula. And we extend the result to ...
Mechanised Assessment of Complex Natural-Language Arguments Using Expressive Logic Combinations
Frontiers of Combining Systems
Abstract
We present and illustrate an approach to combining logics based on shallow semantical embeddings, a technique that harnesses the high expressive power of classical higher-order logic (HOL) as a meta-language in order to embed the syntax and ...
Towards an Intuitionistic Deontic Logic Tolerating Conflicting Obligations
Logic, Language, Information, and Computation
Abstract
We propose a minimal deontic logic, called MIND, based on intuitionistic logic. This logic gives a very simple solution to handling conflicting obligations: the presence of two conflicting obligations does not entail the triviality of the set of ...
