Abstract

In this paper, we defend and develop the idea that fictional discourse is best described in terms of paraconsistent and paracomplete logics. Using a Logic of Evidence and Truth as a starting point, , we present a nondeterministic bivaluation semantics that deals with fictional and metafictional truth by introducing theoperator. After that, we deal with some objections, and we present the logic  as an intuitive alternative of presenting different notions of truth in fiction.
