This is a non specialist introduction to substructural logic. This
book will take linguistics students beyond the classical logic used
in introductory courses into the variety of non standard logics
that are commonly used in research. It embraces a wide variety of
material, including modal logic, partial logic, situation semantics
and the growing area of the substructural logics, starting with
simple and intuitive concepts. Prior knowledge of mathematical
logic is not required as issues are introduced and discussed in
clear and precise English before symbolic notation is introduced.
The variety of material is organised around one central thread: the
tailoring of logical systems to reasoning about different
applications in linguistics and beyond. It does not presuppose any
background in logic or mathematics. It is flexible enough to be
used for several possible courses. It's self contained:
introductory sections give a good grounding in the prerequisites of
the course. It also includes suggestions for discussion aimed at
more advanced students.
