Abstract

Intertheoretic relations are an important topic in the philosophy of science. However, since their discussion in (Nagel, 1961), such relations have mostly been restricted to relations between pairs of theories in the natural sciences. In this paper, we present models of two new types of intertheoretic relations, called 'Montague Reduction' and 'Integrative Reduction', that are assumed in Montague's (1973) theories of natural language syntax and semantics. To show the rationale behind our adoption of these two kinds of relations, we analyze them in the framework of Bayesian confirmation theory.
