Meaning and Other Non-biological Categories
In this paper I display a general metaphysical assumption that characterizes basic naturalistic views and that is inherited, in a residual form, by their leading teleological rivals. The assumption is that intentional states require identifiable inner vehicles and that to explain intentional properties we must develop accounts that bind specific contents to specific vehicles. I show that this a...
متن کاملPartial algebras, meaning categories and algebraization
Many approaches to natural language semantics are essentially model–theoretic, typically cast in type theoretic terms. Many linguists have adopted type theory or many–sorted algebras (see Hendriks (2001) and references therein). However, recently Hodges (2001) has offered an approach to compositionality using just partial algebras. An approach in terms of partial algebras seems at the outset mo...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields: Carcinogenic and Other Biological Effects
In the electromagnetic spectrum, structural damage to living tissues per unit of absorbed energy tends to increase with the decrease of a wavelength which is evident not only for ultraviolet and ionizing radiation but also for the infrared and visible light. By causing thermal damage after absorbing energies that would be harmless for radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF), tissues are eve...

متن کاملSemantic Categories Underlying the Meaning of 'Place'
This paper analyses the semantics of natural language expressions that are associated with the intuitive notion of ‘place’. We note that the nature of such terms is highly contested, and suggest that this arises from two main considerations: 1) there are a number of logically distinct categories of place expression, which are not always clearly distinguished in discourse about ‘place’; 2) the m...
