The active use and manipulation of visual representations makes many complex and in tensive cognitive tasks feasible. A visual representation is able to convey relationships among many elem ents in parallel and it provid...

Este artigo defende a tese de que o minimalismo substantivo assumido por Chomsky nos desenvolvimentos recentes do programa de pesquisa em Sintaxe Gerativa abre uma perspectiva interessante para o tratamento das relaçõe...

In this paper we present a denotational semantics for a lazy functional language. The semantics is intrinsic in the sense that it defines meaning for typing derivations instead of language expressions. We contrast our se...

Non-monotonic base-extension semantics (nB-eS), a kind of non-monotonic proof-theoretic semantics (nPTS), is known to validate classical logic when its meta-logic is classical. Schroeder-Heister has remarked that classic...

ABSTRACT Chierchia discusses his views on the frontiers of contemporary semantics: multidimensionality of meaning, alternative semantics, ‘mid level’ generalizations, the natural logicality of natural languages, the ...

Abstract Sign-based semantics and embodied semantics are argued to be mutually beneficial to one another. However, while the body does shape our cognitive activities to a great extent, this does not entail that cognition...

As its title suggests, this article represents a short analysis of the official discourse immediately after the 1989 Romanian revolution. The paper points out the similarities between Ion Iliescu’s and National Salvati...

Abstract Verbs can be divided in three major groups when it comes to the passive construction in Brazilian Portuguese: while verbs such as ‘escrever’ (to write) are fully compatible with the construction; verbs like ...

For each n∈N, we introduce the algebraic semantics for the minimum many-valued modal logic over the MV-chain with n elements. We prove that this quasivariety of algebras is generated by the complex algebras, obtaining ...

Abstract Background Reliable identification of protein‑protein interactions (PPIs) is crucial for deciphering cellular functional networks. Current research models still face limitations in aligning heterogeneous featu...

In the paper Busaniche and Cignoli (2009) we presented a quasivariety of commutative residuated lattices, called NPc-lattices, that serves as an algebraic semantics for paraconsistent Nelson's logic. In the present paper...

This paper explores Thomas Kuhn’s intellectual history by examining sources that have been understudied so far: the Lowell Lectures of 1951 (The Quest for Physical Theory) and the hitherto unpublished Notre Dame Lectur...

The Semantic Web provides an effective infrastructure that allows data to be easily shared and reused across applications. At its core is the description of ontological knowledge using ontological languages which are pow...

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with formal representations reflecting the structure of human beings' cognitive system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other ...

The long-standing view that idioms are formally and thus also semantically fixed has been challenged and many studies have shown that idioms are indeed flexible both structurally and semantically to varying degrees. We o...

Este texto describe el contexto teórico y clínico de la terapia lingüística de evaluación, desarrollada por la autora a partir de la teoría de la Semántica General de A. Korzybski. Sus elementos principales se rel...
