Logic/natural language/semantics/Cresswell: not every logic can be taken as the basis of semantics: difference Entailment/Consequence: in the natural language, "Monday follows Sunday" must not be taken as a consequence of "Snow is white" - (only formal, not correct content-wise).
>Everyday language, >Material conditional, >Consequence.
I 42
Logic/Semantics/entailment/meaning postulates/Cresswell: E.g. meaning postulate: (x) (x is bachelor > x is male). - Then the conclusion of "roses are red" and "violets are blue" on roses and violets ..and snow is white" becomes valid. ((Vs).

>Necessity, >Contingency.
