Abstract
Introduction. The article continues a series of publications on the linguistics of relations (hereinafter referred to as R-linguistics) and is devoted to the study of the functioning of logical connectives with verbs. The article is the first part of the discussion of internal logic, which examines the use of logical connectives within sentences. This research involves the formation of semantic logic, that is, logic that takes into account the semantics of sentences.Methodology and sources. The results obtained in the previous parts of the series are used as research tools. To develop the necessary mathematical representations in the field of internal logic, the previously formulated semantic concepts and operations are used.Results and discussion. The use of logical connectives with verbs is analyzed. It is shown that these connectives actually refer to external logic, although in some cases it is necessary to adjust part of sentence, taking into account the semantics of the linguistic model. The concept of semantic substitution is defined and the first rule of substitution for verbs is formulated and justified.Conclusion. Abandoning the traditional view of natural language logic means abandoning logical operations and logical inference. This forces us to consider logical operations that now take into account semantics, since they are related to the structure of the linguistic model. Analysis of the functioning of logical connectives with verbs shows that they are related to the linguistic model, which leads to the need for various semantic transformations of the text when such connectives are used. In particular, the use of logical connectives can lead to the loss of the meaning of the text. The rejection of logical inference is compensated by the appearance of semantic substitution rules, one of which is considered in this paper.

Abandoning the traditional view of natural language logic means abandoning logical operations and logical inference. This forces us to consider logical operations that take into account semantics, since they are related to the structure of the linguistic model
Do logical connectives in a language always mean only logical operations with language sentences? In other words, can logical operations in a language always be interpreted into operations between sentences? The use of these conjunctions concerns primarily verbs, since they are combined into some new compound verb, so in this article we will start with verbs, and in the we will continue for other parts of speech
Summary
This article continues a series of publications devoted to the introduction to the linguistics of relations (R-linguistics) – a formal direction in linguistics. There were obtained some results about the conditions for the loss of text semantics All those manifestations of logic that are associated with the operation of attributing sentences one after another, we call external logic, because it describes the interaction of the sentences themselves and leaves out of sight what happens inside the sentences. In [2], the questions of external logic were considered by examples and on this basis some conclusions were made about the order of semantic interpretation of the text in the framework of R-linguistics. It should be noted at once that logical connectives perform other functions in sentences besides logical functions, for example, functions of communicative semantics [3] This aspect of their functioning is well described and will not be considered here. To develop the necessary mathematical representations in the field of internal logic, the previously formulated semantic concepts and operations are used
