  The one-variable fragment of a first-order logic may be viewed as an
"S5-like" modal logic, where the universal and existential quantifiers are
replaced by box and diamond modalities, respectively. Axiomatizations of these
modal logics have been obtained for special cases -- notably, the modal
counterparts S5 and MIPC of the one-variable fragments of first-order classical
logic and intuitionistic logic -- but a general approach, extending beyond
first-order intermediate logics, has been lacking. To this end, a sufficient
criterion is given in this paper for the one-variable fragment of a
semantically-defined first-order logic -- spanning families of intermediate,
substructural, many-valued, and modal logics -- to admit a natural
axiomatization. More precisely, such an axiomatization is obtained for the
one-variable fragment of any first-order logic based on a variety of algebraic
structures with a lattice reduct that has the superamalgamation property,
building on a generalized version of a functional representation theorem for
monadic Heyting algebras due to Bezhanishvili and Harding. An alternative
proof-theoretic strategy for obtaining such axiomatization results is also
developed for first-order substructural logics that have a cut-free sequent
calculus and admit a certain interpolation property.
