Jerrold Katz, The Metaphysics of Meaning

Word Meaning and Commonsense Metaphysics

In this paper, we outline a model of semantics that integrates aspects of discourse-sensitive logics with the compositional mechanisms available from lexically-driven semantic interpretation. Specifically, we concentrate on developing a composition logic required to properly model complex types within the Generative Lexicon (henceforth GL), for which we employ SDRT principles. As we are present...

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...

Is the “Bottom-Up” Approach from the Theory of Meaning to Metaphysics Possible?

Dummett’s The Logical Foundations of Metaphysics (LFM) outlines an ambitious project that has been at the core of his work during the last forty years. The project is built around a particular conception of the theory of meaning (or philosophy of language), according to which such a theory should constitute the corner stone of philosophy and, in particular, provide answers to various metaphysic...

Overcoming of Metaphysics: Heidegger's Interpretation of Kant's Thought and the Problem of Metaphysics

of Main Research Achievements , Jerrold E . Marsden

Symplectic Reduction Theory. Symplectic reduction theory for mechanical systems with symmetry was developed in Marsden and Weinstein [1974]. This far-reaching generalization of classical work of Jacobi, Liouville, Routh, and Poincaré led, over the years to many significant developments in both mechanics and mathematics. Guillemin and Sternberg describe some of these in their 1984 book Symplecti...
