---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Title: Kripke model theory Abstract: Let L be a first-order language. An L-Kripke structure can be considered as a class of classical L-structures partially ordered by the relation weak substructure.The forcing relation for K is defined in the usual way. The relations substructure and elementary substructure between Kripke structures can be defined in several ways. We choose ones that we think are the right ones and develop basic Kripke model theory based on them. Most notably, we prove suitable versions of Tarski's test, upward and downward L-S theorems and some preservation theorems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
