WELCOME
to the SLR Research Group
The Research Group Semiotics of Logic and
Reasoning was established by researchers from the
USA and Europe working on topics related to the
interdisciplinary study of all types of reasoning:
•
mathematical proving,
•
inference or argumentation instances,
•
diagrammatic reasoning,
•
computer-assisted proving,
etc.
and their applications in
•
physical systems,
•
deductive systems,
•
communications networks,
•
the hermeneutics of the history of
mathematics,
•
mathematics education,
and other areas.
These issues are approached from a broader
semiotic perspective involving
•
Peirce’s semiotics,
•
Goguen’s algebraic semiotics and
•
a category-theoretical perspective.
Objectives
The Group aims to connect various research
centers, scholars, and academic institutions around
the globe involved in similar or related research to
engage in collaborative projects in these areas at
local, regional, and global levels. The Group
participates in the activities of the Logica
Universalis Association and other interdisciplinary
societies.

Semiotics of the dialogical nature
of proving discourse.
•
Proving and the development of
knowledge systems.

in diagrammatic reasoning.
•
The transfer of the German
hermeneutic and Russian
formalism methodologies to
questions of understanding proof
narratives.

models to describe stylistic
features of mathematical proof
narratives.
