  Abstract:
Let L and N be propositional languages over Basic Propositional Calculus, and M=LN. We prove two different but interrelated interpolation theorems. First, suppose that II is a sequent theory over L, and Σ∪{ CC′} is a set of sequents over N, such that II, Σ\vdash CC′. Then there is a sequent theory Φ over M such that Π\vdash Φ and Φ,Σ\vdash CC′. Second, let A be a formula over L, and C1,C2 be formulas over N, such that AC1\vdash C2. Then there exists a formula B over M such that A\vdash B and BC1\vdash C2.
