Lecture 16: Intrinsic Typing
Our type system so far had the form of a type assignment system:
expressions contain no types themselves. This is also called a type
system in the style of Curry (after the logician Curry who introduced
such systems).
An alternative way to construct a language is to view types as an intrinsic
part of expressions. We present the different views of typing using
parametric polymorphism as an illustrating example and show different
ways of representing intrinsic (and extrinsic) typing in LF.
