Informativity-based Maximality Conditions*
Von Fintel, Fox and Iatridou 2005/2012 argue that 'the NP' should not be taken to refer to the largest NP-object, as is commonly thought, but rather to the object x such that the proposition 'x satisfies NP' is maximally informative. In particular, they show that in some cases an informativity-based treatment correctly predicts that 'the NP' should refer to the smallest rather than to the large...
متن کاملInformativity and asymmetry in comparisons.
We propose an account of comparison asymmetries based on viewing comparison as a process of structural alignment and mapping. Specifically, we hypothesize that (1) comparison asymmetries result from directional differences in informativity, and that (2) asymmetries can therefore be predicted from the relative degree of systematicity or conceptual coherence of the items being compared. In Experi...
متن کاملUtility, Informativity and Protocols
Recently, quantitative notions of relevance have been proposed for questions and assertions and, based on an assumption of optimal relevance, used for linguistic applications. BarHillel and Carnap’s (1953) notion of informativity (their ‘inf’ value) has already been used in traditional pragmatics of natural language; Merin (1999a,b) proposes that the relevance of a proposition q should be seen ...
متن کاملFictional Women in Mathematics
This article will argue that the situation for female mathematicians in fiction has improved, but that there is still cause for concern. You may wonder why you should care about this at all since these fictional women are (by definition) not real and therefore unlikely to be dues paying members of the AWM! With this in mind, in addition to providing examples of female mathematicians in literatu...
متن کاملText comprehension and its relation to coherence and cohesion in children's fictional narratives
This study investigated the relation between children’s text comprehension, their ability to produce a coherent and cohesive story, and the extent to which external cues aid these aspects of narrative production. Children with reading comprehension difficulties demonstrated deficits in both aspects of story organization, relative to sameage skilled comprehenders and younger children of equivale...
