A Neo-Kleinian Approach to Comparatives

INTRODUCTION. Adjectives such as tall get a high degree meaning when used in isolation. Thus, John is tall does not simply mean that John has (a certain) height, but rather that he is taller than average.

I will argue that such analyses face serious conceptual and empirical problems. I will pursue an alternative analysis on which comparatives involve a comparison between particula...

A new indexed approach to render the attractors of Kleinian groups

One widespread procedure to render the attractor of Kleinian groups, appearing in the renown book [8], wantshuge memory resources to compute and store the results. We present a new faster and lighter version that drops the original array and pulls out group elements from integers.

Using 25 years of data gathered with the DeŽ ning Issues Test (DIT), we present an overview of Minnesota’s neo-Kohlbergian approach, using Kohlberg’s b...
