Knot Semantic Logic and Deep Structure of Statements

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the deep structure of sentences by applying the knot semantic logic principle in the surface structure of the sentences. This article will help to judge some controversial statements that have legal and social effects. The knot semantic logic theory is a novel approach to explaining a literature's symmetry structure. Chiasm, parallelism, and concentricity are all examples of symmetry structure. This new theory introduces a new method for detecting symmetry in words, sentences, verses, essays, chapters, and entire books. This analysis will use Knot semantic logic point of view. The methodology used in the analysis has two main procedures: (1) classification of the structure and (2) analyzing some examples from some official/formal statements and controversial statements using Paltridge's classification of thematic progression and knot semantic logic. The result of this research is that the valid argument has surface and Deep Structure. Some fallacies statements such as presumption, generalization, distortion, and deletion have a deep structure that forms ring composition (Type I of knots semantic logic) and parallelizations (Type III of knots semantic logic). This research results generate a new idea about perspective truth, Original perspective domain, and Response perspective domain.
