Meeting Description:
Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics 6 (LENLS 6)
LENLS is an annual international workshop focusing on formal semantics and pragmatics. In the past it has been a satellite of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence conference; this year it will be part of a special workshop session to be held in November, distinct from the conference though still sponsored by JSAI.

Course Description:
True Intensionality in Higher Order Logic
Most of our logics identify semantic values that should be kept apart. As a result they come with problems such as the prediction of logical omniscience. These problems can be evaded by distinguishing between an expression's sense and its reference, in Frege's way.
In this tutorial we study logics in which such a distinction is made and in which even logically equivalent sentences can be assigned different meanings. We will also consider applications of such logics. After an overview of some of the proposals that have been made, the course will focus upon the classical theory of types and it will be explained how a natural generalization of Henkin's general models for this logic leads to structures with the desired characteristic: senses as well as referents being available as semantic values. It will turn out that the system thus obtained has many nice logical properties, completeness with respect to a very straightforward Gentzen calculus being one of them. It will also be shown how in a set-up where expressions come with senses the usual ingredients of possible worlds semantics can be constructed.
The course will emphasize ideas rather than logical technique and should be accessible to natural language semanticists who are interested in getting rid of a foundational difficulty of their discipline.
