That is what might be called a 'layperson's' definition of logicality
in language. Among conlangers, though, -- though auxlangers may
pattern here with the laypeople -- 'logical' tends to mean 'based
on formal logic', or, in a more refined sense, that the grammar
assigns to every sentence an explicit logical formula.
