Syntax of Propositional Logic

Formulas of are made up from:

  • countably infinite propositional variables
  • connectives
  • well-formed propositional formulas (wffs)
    • propositional variables
    • true and false
    • negations
    • Conjunction
    • Disjunktion
    • Implication
    • equivalences / biimplications
    • where the variables used for the formulas are again wffs

A single formula without any connectives is called an Atom.

The list above can be formulated in terms of a Grammar:
