 Hello, here we are again with our series of sentence analysis videos where we will talk about the formal analysis of sentence meaning from propositions to predications. This third exercise deals with complex propositions and as far as predicate logic is concerned it presupposes the e-lecture predicate logic one. And this is our task. As usual we have to convert the following sentences first into propositions and then into predications. Number one, John saw that Mary didn't read the book. Number two, if Bill drinks wine, Mary starts crying. And number three, Gina admires Roberto the mafioso when he sings. Okay, let's start. Our first sentence can be split into two propositions. John saw something, P and Q, Mary didn't read the book. P is a predication with a two-place predicate where the first argument is John and the second argument is the entire proposition Q. And Q can be converted into a second predication again with a two-place predicate, read and the two arguments Mary book. Now the predicate itself is negative, Mary did not read the book. So here we have the negative connective again. As a result we have a complex predication of the type P and not Q with a complex predication C, John and then the second argument not read Mary book. In our second example we have an implication of the type if R, Bill drinks wine, then Mary starts something and Mary is crying. So if R then S and S itself is a complex proposition of the type S and T. Let us look at the predications. The first one is a simple predication of the type drink, Bill wine, so we have a two-place predicate with two arguments Bill and wine. The second predication realizes a complex proposition. So here we are. We have S, a two-place predicate start Mary something and then the second T, cry Mary is an argument of S, so it realizes the X position in S. And here is a result, a complex predication. If Bill drinks wine, drink Bill wine, then starts Mary, cry Mary, so Mary starts something and what she starts is that she cries. Our last example looks complicated but it isn't. It is a conjunction with three conjuncts, U, Gina admires Roberto, V, Roberto is a mafioso and W Roberto sings. Each conjunct is in fact a simple predication. The first U, two-place predicate and then we have two one-place predicates, mafioso Roberto and sing Roberto. Well and the result is simple. It is a complex predication, however the individual predicates within it, well, admirer, mafioso and sing are simply conjoined by and. Okay, that's it again. Here is an overview of our solutions. We have two conjunctions and one implication. And if you want the print versions of the solutions, well, as usual, log into the Virtual Linguistics Compass, consult the VLCE lecture library and there you are. So thank you once more and see you again.
