Research Type Theoretical In this paper, we show that lexicographic inference satisfies syntax splitting, which means that we can restrict our attention to parts of the belief base that share atoms with a given query, thus seriously restricting the computational costs for many concrete queries. Furthermore, we make some observations on the relationship between crepresentations and lexicographic inference, and reflect on the relation between syntax splitting and the drowning problem.
