Measurement-Theoretic Foundations of Logic for Better Questions and Answers,n order to compare the goodness of answers, they use qualitative orderings among answers. Groenendijk and Stokhof’s qualitative method is too coarse-grained to achieve the goal. In order to overcome the limitations, van Rooij (Formal theories of information: from Shannon to semantic information theo

Attempts to account for this intuition within a general probabilistic theory of belief, meaning and use have been plagued by a danger of trivialization, which has proven to be remarkably recalcitrant and absorbed much
