Validity of an argument - Answers It is Impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false
Soundness of an argument - Answers Arguments that are valid and the premises are all true
Argument - Answers An argument is a series of statements in which one, called the conclusion, is meant
to be a consequence of the others called premises
Tautological Consequence (Taut Con) - Answers Taut Con allows you to infer any sentence that follows
from the cited sentences in virtue of the meaning of the truth-functional connectives alone.
First-order Consequence (FO Con) - Answers FO Con allows you to infer any sentence that follows from
the cited sentences in virtue of the meanings of the truth-functional connectives, the quantifies and the
identity predicate.
Analytic Consequence (Ana Con) - Answers In theory, Ana Con should allow you to infer any sentence
that follows from the cited sentences in virtue of the meanings of the truth-functional connectives, the
quantifiers, the identity predicate and the blocks language predicates.
Proof by Contradiction - Answers To Prove not S by contradiction, we assume S and proof a
contradiction. In other words, we assume the negation of what we wish to prove and show that this
assumption leads to a contradiction.
Proof by Cases - Answers A proof by cases consist in proving some statements S from a disjunction by
proving S from each disjunct
Premise - Answers A premise of an argument is one the statements meant to support (lead us to accept)
the conclusion of the argument
Analytical Consequence - Answers A sentence is an analytical consequence of some premises if S follows
from the premises in virtue of the meanings of the truth -functional connectives, identity, quantifiers,
and predicate symbols appearing in S and the premises.
Arity - Answers The arity of a predicate indicates the number of arguments (in the second sense of the
word) it takes. A predicate with rarity of one is called unary. A predicate with an arty of two ic called
binary. It's possible for a predicate to have any arity, so we can talk about 6-ary or even 113-ary
predicates.
Atomic Sentences - Answers Atomic sentences are the most basic sentences of FOL, those formed by a
predicate followed by the right number (see arity) of names (or complex terms, if the language contains
function symbols). Atomic sentences in FOL correspond to the simplest sentences of English.
Boolean Connectives - Answers The logical connectives conjunction " ∧" , disjunction " ∨", and negation
"¬" allow us to form complex claims from simpler claims and are known as the Boolean connectives after
