Monads for hyperintensionality? A situation semantics for hyperintensional side effects

Luke Burke


Abstract
We outline a hyperintensional situation semantics in which hyperintensionality is modelled as a ‘side effect’, as this term has been understood in natural language semantics and in functional programming. We use monads from category theory in order to ‘upgrade’ an ordinary intensional semantics to a possible hyperintensional counterpart.
