"variable assignment" is an acceptable phrase in written English.
It is typically used in programming and computer science contexts, and it means assigning a certain value to a variable. For example, "I used a variable assignment to set the value of x equal to 1."
That this approach adheres to the relational reading of λ terms can be seen clearly in the semantics: according to the standard Tarski-style semantics for first-order logic, the interpretation of a formula (possibly with free variables) denotes a set of tuples of elements of the structure, as we vary the variable assignment that assigns elements of the structure to the variables.
I would not account for this in my instrumental variable assignment and would instead assign her the state unemployment one year later than I should.
This form of variable assignment is called an delayed assignment.
If g is a variable assignment, g[x/a] is the variable assignment which is otherwise like g but maps the variable x to the object a. 21.
This form of a variable assignment is called an immediate assignment.
In theory, every variable assignment that complies to the execution can be considered as a consistent one.
That is, the interpretation M assigns denotations to the constants, while the variable-assignment assigns denotations to the (free) variables.
Variable assignments, procedures, and control structures are not used here.
In principle, we can check all possible variable assignments.
While the Tarskian semantics for FO is in terms of single variable assignments, Hodges's semantics employs sets of variable assignments.
The semantics is defined explicitly to arbitrary formulas and variable assignments in Sandu (1996, 1998).
