Paul Gochet

Paul Gochet (21 March 1932 – 21 June 2011[1]) was a Belgian logician, philosopher, and emeritus professor of the University of Liège.

In between his studies, he spent a year in England attending the courses of A. Ayer at University College London (1957) and J. L. Austin at Oxford in 1958.

He maintained a long-standing connection with the Belgian National Centre for Research in Logic that was founded in 1955 by R. Feys, Ch.

From philosophy, he widened his investigations to the formal semantics of natural language that required an expertise in linguistics as well as in modal and intensional logics.

As such, he was a constant visitor at the Amsterdam Colloquia in formal semantics, and the European ESSLLI Summer Schools in Logic, Language and Information.
