Books in the Center for the Study of Language and Information Publication Lecture Notes series

Among the philosophers of mind and language in recent decades, Donald Davidson articualted "amomalous monism" as well as ideas for unifying the theory of linguistic meaning with semantics for natural language. This book includes essays on Davidson by his contempories and his own replies.

This volume of essays is dedicated to the late Wilbur Knorr, a historian of science. Inspired by Knorr's work, the essays concentrate on the history of ancient mathematics, the associated mathematical sciences and their medieval and modern traditions.

A collection of papers by leading researchers in modal logic and theoretical computer science.

Presents work that evolved out of the Third Conference on Situation Theory and Its Applications, held at Oiso, Japan, in November of 1991.

The Verbmobil System currently under development in Germany would input speech in a source-language dialogue, translate it, and output synthesized speech in a target language, all in real time under the conditions of face-to-face dialogue. This is a study of the field and possible problems.

This volume explores the intersubjective and social dimensions of self-deception.

Argues that Situation Theory has provided a uniform framework for the investigation of the creative aspects of language use.

Papers on the topic of ambiguity and underspecification.

This collection comprises the most recent innovations in logic, linguistics and computer science.

This volume presents contributions to quanti er theory and its applications and gives a good impression of the depth and diversity of recent work in the eld.

A new perspective on phonetic variation is achieved in this volume through the construction of a series of models of spoken American English. The authors argue that assumptions made about the units of spoken language are critical to a computational model.

The initial sections of this text deal with syntactical matters such as logical formalism, cut-elimination, and the embedding of intuitionistic logic in classical linear logic. Concluding chapters focus on proofnets for the multiplicative fragment and the algorithmic interpretation of cut-elimination in proofnets.

This text presents semantic and syntactic features of modal logic and illustrates them by analyses of three modal systems S5, S4 and T. The book concentrates on the logical aspects of the subject and provides philosophical motivations to show the point of the formal work.

A method of introducing students to the language of first-order logic. It helps students learn the meanings of connectives and qualifiers and soon become fluent in the symbolic language at the core of modern logic.

Contributions of important researchers working in empty names, fiction, and the puzzles of non-existence.

This volume is devoted to Analysis of Algorithms, a field that Knuth founded and still considers his main life's work.

A text which pursues the recent upsurge of research in the interface of logic, language and computation, with applications to artificial intelligence and machine learning.

This study offers a novel integration of distinct aspects of Russell's thought.

This book offers a simplified exposition of the author's theory of aspectuality.

This handbook develops a methodology for writing and testing wide coverage, maintainable grammars.

An examination of the speech community in an Internet 'virtual community'.

This text develops data oriented parsing models for different linguistic representations ranging form tree representations to compositional semantic representations. In the CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION PUBLICATION LECTURE NOTES series.

This volume sets out to explore alternatives to a rigid model of lexical projection.

An examination of clitics both in Italian and in certain southern Italian dialects which shows their different properties within a single language. The author argues against the existence of a special class clitics whose elements exhibit variable behaviour, decomposing and assimilating their properties to those of well established categories.

In the CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION PUBLICATION LECTURE NOTES series. The papers presented are representative of the debate on externalism and open up new questions and issues for philosophical investigation, including the connection between externalism, self-knowledge, epistemic warrant and memory.
