Abstract: This paper studies feature description languages that have been developed for use in unification grammars, logic programming and knowledge representation. The distinctive notational primitive of these languages are features that can be understood as unary partial functions on a domain of abstract objects. We show that feature description languages can be captured naturally as sublanguages of first-order predicate logic with equality and show the equivalence of a loose Tarski semantics with ...

...to capture the relation between feature descriptions and linguistics objects in terms of a logic. Subsequently, Johnson [6] and Smolka [22, 23] realized that feature logics can be modeled straightforwardly in Predicate Logic. In this approach, which underlies the present paper,...

...found in many programming languages. Feature descriptions have been proposed in various forms with various formalizations [1, 13, 9, 15, 5, 10]. We will follow the logical approach pioneered by [15] which accommodates feature descriptions as standard first order...
