Strawsonian vs. Russellian Definite Descriptions
In 1905 Bertrand Russell took on the problem of definite descriptions, and his analysis became the standard up until 1950 when Peter Strawson criticised Russell’s solution as inadequate. Since then many opponents as well as proponents of the Russellian solution have been involved in a long-term debate on definite descriptions. In this paper I show that both sides of the contention are partly ri...
متن کاملThe or That: Definite and Demonstrative Descriptions in Second Language Acquisition
Since Heubner's (1985) pioneering study, there have been many studies on (mis) use/ non-use of articles by L2 learners from article-less and article languages. The present study investigated how Persian L2 learners of English produce and interpret English definite descriptions and demonstrative descriptions. It was assumed that definite and demonstrative descriptions share the same central sema...
متن کاملPositive Definite and Semi-definite Splitting Methods for Non-hermitian Positive Definite Linear Systems
In this paper, we further generalize the technique for constructing the normal (or positive definite) and skew-Hermitian splitting iteration method for solving large sparse nonHermitian positive definite system of linear equations. By introducing a new splitting, we establish a class of efficient iteration methods, called positive definite and semi-definite splitting (PPS) methods, and prove th...
متن کاملDefinite Matrix Polynomials and their Linearization by Definite Pencils
Hyperbolic matrix polynomials are an important class of Hermitian matrix poly-nomials that contain overdamped quadratics as a special case. They share with definite pencils the spectral property that their eigenvalues are real and semisimple. We extend the definition of hyperbolic matrix polynomial in a way that relaxes the requirement of definiteness of the leading coefficient matrix, yielding...
متن کاملOn Definite Quadratic Forms, Which Are Not the Sum of Two Definite or Semi-definite Forms
be a positive definite quadratic form with determinant D R and integer coefficients a ;Call it an even form if all a ; ; are even ., an odd form if at least one a ;; is odd . Then Í,, is called non-decomposable, if it cannot be expressed as a sum of two non-negative quadratic forms with integer coefficients . Mordell 1 ) proved that f, can always be decomposed into a sum of five squares of line...
