Document Summary

You will have a triplet to represent this, because there is the subject + the two complements, which adds up to 3. Introduced: { 1, 2, 3 , 2, 1, 3 , 4, 3, 2 , 4, 1, 2 } The first of the triplets is the person doing the introducing, the second of the triplets is the person being introduced, and the third triplet is the person to whom we are introducing someone else. Synthesis trees for this sentence are included in the chapter notes. U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} Is { 1, 1 , 2, 2 , 3, 3 , and so on} There are other words the represent the identity relation. If e|np and f|vp, then v1(ef|s] = t iff v1(e|np) v1(f|vp) The preposition of is vacuous and represents the identity relation. If e|x: c1, , cn and fj|cj, for each j that is in z+, then ef1 fn|x: .
