Sentence examples for elementary sentence from inspiring English sources

In 1932 Carnap acknowledged that he had adopted a 'refined form of absolutism of the ur-sentence ("elementary sentence", "atomic sentence")' (1932/1987, 469).

(The sentence ∃Pφ(P) is true in every non-zero cardinality iff the elementary sentence φ(P) has models of every finite size, a co-c.e.

And to a Turing machine we can effectively assign an elementary sentence having models of every finite size iff the machine never halts).

Let's take an example, in English: go ahead and say the elementary sentence, "It's in that green box over there," out loud.

Let's take an example, in English: Go ahead and say the elementary sentence, "It's in that green box over there," out loud.

These recursive clauses (called "truth conditions") can be reapplied until the truth of a non-elementary, molecular sentence of arbitrary complexity is reduced to the truth or falsehood of its elementary, atomic constituents.

By this method one can find elementary proofs of sentences formulated in the language of that theory at least in principle, since, as Brumfiel remarks, "it certainly might be very tedious, if not physically impossible, to work out this elementary proof" (166) Brumfiel prefers a third proof method which aims at giving non-transcendental proofs of purely algebraic results.

Books are also elementary, when time permits.

There has been outlined above a proof of the completeness of elementary logic without including sentences asserting identity.

Some students are crushing and snorting pills for a speed-like high; in Orem, Utah, an elementary school principal was sentenced to 30 days in jail after he stole his students' Ritalin pills and replaced them with sugar pills.
