| summary | This talk examines logical connectives in natural languages from a typological and diachronic perspective, showing that their forms and meanings vary widely across languages and often diverge from their counterparts in formal logic. Cross-linguistic evidence highlights widespread undercoding and multifunctionality, where logical relations are inferred from context rather than overtly marked. These findings suggest that the boundary between semantics and pragmatics is dynamic and language-specific, calling into question the assumption that logical structure provides a universal foundation for the analysis of connectives. |
