Generalized Quantifiers in Declarative and Interrogative Sentences
In this paper we present a logical system able to compute the semantics of both declarative and interrogative sentences. Our proposed analysis takes place at both the sentential and at the discourse level. We use syntactic inference on the sentential level for declarative sentences, while the discourse level comes into play for our treatment of questions. Our formalisation uses a type logic sen...
متن کاملProsodic encoding of declarative, interrogative and imperative sentences in jaminjung, a language of australia
This paper examines the prosodic encoding of sentence types in Jaminjung, a language of Northern Australia. Analyses cover the description of the contours as well as a systematic acoustic analysis, comprising the measurements of F0, duration, pitch excursion and velocity for each syllable in datasets carefully selected from spontaneous speech. Results show that declaratives and imperatives rece...
متن کاملDenotational Semantics for interrogative Sentences in Japanese
We present a new approach to a sentence of interrogative form in Japanese within the framework of Montague Grammar. The possibility of various uses of an interrogative sentence; uses as a question, an exclamation, a rhetorical question, a demand and a recommendation is explained based on the same denotation for the sentence. The denotation which is neutral for all possible uses is defined in te...
متن کاملGeneralized Quantifiers
We review recent work in the field of generalized quantifiers on finite models. We give an idea of the methods that are available in this area. Main emphasis is on definability issues, such as whether there is a logic for the PTIME properties of unordered finite models.
متن کاملComparison of Declarative and Interrogative Intonation in Chinese
We model the differences between declarative and interrogative intonation in Chinese with Stem-ML, an intonation description language combined with an algorithm for translating tags into quantitative prosody. Our study shows that the diverse surface patterns can be accounted for by two consistent gestures: 1. Interrogative intonation has a higher phrase curve than declarative intonation; 2. Sen...
