Valentine's day logic by DennisMV2003-02-13 15:13:54

    no offense to English, of course by DennisMV 2003-02-13 15:23:15
I meant any human language. Then maybe any language is a structure that is not particularly logical, or a structure of a different kind.

Here, it was context dependent....
The context was: Valentine's day.
So, suppose we take this context out, and say that just generally:
If you get a gift from somebody, your mood will change (most likely, and also depending on the gift)
By rules of logic...
"if your mood doesn't change, it HAS TO mean that you didn't get a gift from somebody."
But then you can say "If youre mood doesn't change, nothing happened what so ever".....
hmmmm. maybe in life there are just too many intrinsic causal and contextual relationships, that it will be pretty hard to completely 'logicalize' any language.
Therefore, I conjecture: English language could possibly be explained logically. However, this task is probably quite insurmountable. But I wonder about Esperanto though. It's probably just as hard too.
