A study of the two related phenomena using dynamic semantics, but which also considers the usefulness of partial logic in the treatment of presupposition and anaphora.

This volume explores the potential advantages of database applications to linguistics.

A grammar of Lele, an endangered language spoken in the Republic of Chad, belonging to the Chadic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family. The text explores the use of vowel harmony as a means of coding categories of morphemes.

This book offers a Minimalist analysis of certain syntactic phenomena in Russian associated with negation.

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.

Explores the psychophysical and neurophysical determinants of cross-linguistic constraints on the shape of colour lexicons.

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

This book translates the propositions of Epictetus's The Master Argument into logical terms.

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.

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

A collection of innovative papers on the newest developments in research on variation.

State-of-the-art description of research in logic-based approaches to knowledge representation.

Papers on the topic of ambiguity and under specification.

Papers on the topic of ambiguity and underspecification.

Investigates the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties of the diverse families of Japanese constructions in which the verbal suf x TE (approximately the English 'and') is a linking device.

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 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.

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.
