In this case, presupposition remains under negation, but entailment does not.

Therefore, people will use T / V deference entailment in 1 ) a first-order indexical sense that distinguishes between speaker / addressee interpersonal values of ' power ' and ' solidarity ' and 2 ) a second-order indexical sense that indexes an interlocutor's inherent " honor " or social merit in employing V forms over T forms in public contexts.

Both of them rely on the established claim ( under JTB ) that justification is preserved by entailment, and the further claim that such applies significantly, or can be applied there coherently to the " stipulation " attributed to Smith's putative " belief " in the case of this particular counter-example: that is, that if Smith is justified in believing P, and Smith realizes that the truth of P entails the truth of Q, then Smith would also be justified in believing Q.

In sequent calculi this property can be captured by an inference rule called weakening, or sometimes thinning, and in such systems one may say that entailment is monotone if and only if the rule is admissible.

In sequent calculi this property can be captured by a structural rule called contraction and in such systems one may say that entailment is idempotent just in case contraction is an admissible rule.

Words that are incompatible create the following type of entailment ( where X is a given word and Y is a different word incompatible with word X ):

This can be contrasted with cases of entailment.

Dialethesists solve this problem by rejecting the principle of explosion, and, along with it, at least one of the more basic principles that lead to it, e. g. disjunctive syllogism or transitivity of entailment, or disjunction introduction.

They reverse the entailment relation of sentences formed with the predicates “ run fast ” and “ run ”, for example.

Semantics is useful for investigating a logic ( i. e. a derivation system ) only if the semantical entailment relation reflects its syntactical counterpart, the consequence relation ( derivability ).

Although Charles Theodore certainly wished to acquire more territory, he had only natural sons, thus he preferred territory that he could dispose of through his testament, rather than territory encumbered by a legal entailment that could only pass to a legitimate son.

Semantics is useful for investigating a logic ( i. e. a derivation system ) only if the semantical entailment relation reflects its syntactical counterpart, the consequence relation ( derivability ).
