Abstract

In natural languages, the modes of reasoning are seldom deductive. In most cases (anaphoras, negation,...) they involve a "bet" which is tested in the sequel of the text. We consider here a kind of such reasoning: the abductive one, and give two examples of application. Note: To avoid misunderstandings about our concepts, we present most examples in French (with English translation)
