Re: SUO: Re: IFF Comments Requested




Chris,
         Nice to answer me, but I am not sure to understand what you are 
referring to  with the terminology ' first order logic and model theory' ? 
are you referring to the different indications you gave in your preceding 
mails about the set/class distinctions, and that I had commented?  In this 
case it would be easy for me to explain what I understood, viz  how to use 
some of the elements or functions to modelize  several accounts and notably 
what I called 'locations' in my verbal protocol analysis.
and I would be very glad to have your comments.

But if it is not the case I am afraid that I can't. Really I can't never 
remember what do all these specific terms mean exactly.

My first studies were in mathematics (algebre, topology and analyse), but I 
forgot. Later I was specialized in cognitive psychology and partly in 
cognitive linguistics.

Sincerely yours
Josiane
