The active use and manipulation of visual representations makes many complex and intensive cognitive tasks feasible. A visual representation is able to convey relationships among many elements in parallel and it provides...

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 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...

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...

En Slurs and Expressivity (2021), Orlando y Saab compilan una serie de trabajos que aborda los términos peyorativos de grupo (slurs, en inglés) desde diferentes aproximaciones semántico-pragmáticas. El libro reviste ...

This thesis defines Defeasible Logic Programming and provides a concrete specification of this new language through its operational semantics. Defeasible Logic Programming, or DeLP for short, has been defined based on th...

A morphemic-indicational description of English but (and French mais) is proposed, showing that the uses of but whose closer equivalents (and French translation) are almost, except, only, and without, together with the c...

Abstract Counterfactuals have become an important area of interdisciplinary interest, especially in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, decision theory, and even artificial intelligence....

In this brief note, I offer some considerations to the effect of arguing (i) that Duffley's criticism to formal semantics is based on a dogma about the proper nature of the linguistic sing, and (ii) that, even when I agr...

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the challenge of analysing texts for ideational grammatical metaphor. It undertakes this task from the perspective of recent work on field (Doran & Martin in press) and discourse semantics (...

Abstract Infiltration of a word’s meaning by world-knowledge is argued to be consistent with the semiological principle. While acknowledging variability in what people know about elephants, there is a common core of wh...

Abstract Dung’s argumentation frameworks are formalisms widely used to model interaction among arguments. Although their study has been profusely developed in the field of Artificial Intelligence, it is not common to s...

In this essay, I appeal to the mental file approach in order to give an anti- realist semantic analysis of statements containing fictional names. I claim that fictive and parafictive uses of them express conceptual, thou...

The Bellum Hispaniense is for the most part considered in scholarship only with respect to textual and linguistic problems and in relation to its deficit in literary qualities. Through a close reading, the present paper ...

We present a strategy for collaborative reasoning and automatic knowledge sharing in which multiple agents discuss about some piece of information until they reach an agreement. A structured argumentation system (DeLP) i...

Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) occurring in a protein coding gene may disrupt its function in multiple ways. Predicting this disruption has been recognized as an important problem in bioinformatics research. Many tool...

El concepto jurídico de persona se encuentra ampliamente naturalizado como sinónimo de sujeto de derechos y obligaciones, a la par que remite a un antiguo elemento teatral. La carga simbólica de este concepto ha provo...

Abstract Dreams are universal yet highly idiosyncratic experiences. While memories and personal concerns are known to influence dream content, how such influences evolve over time and how stable individual traits shape d...

Interpretable data classifiers play a significant role in providing transparency in the decision-making process by ensuring accountability and auditability, enhancing model understanding, and extracting new information t...

Abstract This paper criticises Kevin Toh’s expressivist reconstruction of H. L. A. Hart’s semantics of legal statements on the grounds that two implications of Toh’s reading are arguably too disruptive to Hart’s ...
