Apr 18, 2012 at 12:19 comment added Dave Yes, indeed. I think that a good solution for that would include adding another constant c to the language, then the theorems c>1, c>1+1 and so on, find a model and "forget" c (this is a model of the reduced language). Thanks!
Apr 18, 2012 at 12:15 comment added Ramiro de la Vega No, that doesn´t work. You first need to add a constant to the language.
Apr 18, 2012 at 12:13 comment added Dave Thanks for your answer. I'm afraid I don't understand how compactness comes in here. I'm guessing I should add the statements $\exists{x} x>1$, $\exists{x} x>1+1$ and so on to my set, and show that there are models that satisfy that set. But I think it only gives me that there are greater elements than any element of the type $1+1+\ldots+1$; I need one element that "covers them all".
