Abstract

We propose a paradigmatic programming language (called SlPCF) which is linear in a semantic sense. SlPCF is not syntactically linear, namely its programs can contain more than one occurrencies of the same variable. We give an interpretation of SlPCF into a model of linear coherence spaces and we show that such semantics is fully abstract with respect to our language. Furthermore, we discuss the independence of new syntactical operators and we address the universality problem.
