Extract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate continuity properties arising in elementary (i.e., first-order) logic in the hope of illuminating the special status of this logic. The continuity properties turn out to be closely related to conditions which characterize elementary logic uniquely, and lead to various further questions.

Footnotes

1

The notes [7] and [8], and the paper [9], contain announcements of some of the results and related material. I wish to thank Per Lindström, D. A. Martin and Scott Weinstein for many helpful suggestions; also, several clarifications of an earlier draft were stimulated by William Craig's criticism. The final draft owes much to the suggestions of the referee.
