Reference Determination and Conceptual Change
The paper discusses reference determination from the point of view of conceptual change in science. The first part of the discussion uses the homology concept, a natural kind term from biology, as an example. It is argued that the causal theory of reference gives an incomplete account of reference determination even in the case of natural kind terms. Moreover, even if descriptions of the refere...
متن کاملTowards a conceptual reference model for project management information systems
Project management information systems have changed considerably over the last decade. They no longer focus on scheduling and resource management alone. Instead, they have become comprehensive systems that support the entire life-cycle of projects, project programs, and project portfolios. In this context, project-oriented organizations are facing a new challenge: the design, implementation, an...

Many philosophers assume a tight link between the concepts we possess and what we know a priori. They consequently rely on semantic reflections to explore the extent of our a priori knowledge. In this paper, I will acquiesce in this practice. I will explore the scope of our a priori knowledge of nature by examining the semantics of natural kind terms. More specifically, I will ponder whether we...
متن کاملConceptual alignment in reference with artificial and human dialogue partners
Previous work on reference in dialogue has shown that speakers adapt to the concepts that were used in earlier references during an interaction (such as orientation when a dialogue partner describes a chair as “the chair seen from the front”), even if these concepts are generally dispreferred. Here, we investigate to what extent it matters whether speakers interact with an artificial or a human...
متن کاملLinguistic Untranslatability vs. Conceptual Nesting of Frames of Reference
This work focuses on the concept of frame of reference. Levinson (2003) suggested that spatial information encoded in one frame of reference cannot be translated into another one. While this is partially true in language, I argue for a nesting relationship between frames of reference at the conceptual level. A set of spatial concepts suggested by Lehman & Bennardo (2003) informs this investigat...
