Natural Deduction for 'Generally'

Abstract

Logics for ‘generally’ (LG’s) were introduced for handling assertions with vague notions (e.g. ‘generally’, ‘most’, ‘several’), which occur often in ordinary language and in science. LG’s provide a framework for distinct notions of ‘generally’: one builds a specific logic for the notion one has in mind. We introduce deductive systems, in natural deduction style, for LG’s and show that these systems are normalizable.
