Negotiation Games and Conflict Resolution in Logical Semantics

Contents

The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent in which the idea of using negotiation games in tandem with the theory of semantic games is relevant to the concept of meaning in logical semantics. The need for such negotiations is argued to arise when some formulas are logically non-coherent, which in turn may take place because of conflicts between the players playing the associated non-strictly competitive semantic language-games on these formulas.
