Abstract

The paper very briefly outlines set definitions and properties of an abstract causal system. Then we sketch the idea of defining system causality in terms of alternative Vopěnka's semisets which - at least on the onthological basis - describe vagueness of language phenomena much better than "classical" Zadeh's fuzzy sets. The final step is the idea of formalising suprasegmental characteristics of speech as certain relations within a causal system built in the Vopěnka's Alternative Set Theory. Such a way of description should relay on semantical structures of sentences, it should take the "topic-focus articulation" into account, and among other things, it crosses sentence boundaries.
