Nuclear Rises in Update Semantics∗
The main goal of this paper is to argue for an analysis of final rises in American English as ‘intonational adverbs’ expressing epistemic uncertainty. Furthermore, it is suggested that the question-like behavior of declaratives with final rises can be derived as a secondary effect from maxims of rational conversation and is not directly due to their intonational properties. The advantage of thi...
متن کاملImplicit Probabilities in Update Semantics
Update semantics is both the first ([Karttunen, 1976]) and the final proposal in discourse semantics/dynamic semantics. Update semantics consists in a definition of information states and an update function or relation specified recursively for some update language. All proposals in dynamic semantics and discourse semantics have an interpretation for some instantiation of these two parameters. ...
متن کاملPresupposition Accommodation in Update Semantics
The study of presuppositions lies on the border of semantics and pragmatics. It concerns information, assumed to be part of the discourse context by the speaker, as apparent in the syntactic form of the utterance. Missing presupposed information will normally be lled in by the hearer, provided it is compatible with the context. My thesis tries to characterise this process of presupposition acco...
متن کاملUpdate semantics for multilevel relations
In this paper we give a formal operational semantics for update operations on multilevel relations, i.e., relations in which individual data elements are classi ed at di erent levels. For this purpose, the familiar INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations of SQL are suitably generalized to cope with polyinstantiation. We conjecture that these operations are consistent (or sound) in that all relatio...
متن کاملOperational Semantics for SPARQL Update
Concurrent fine grained updates are essential for using RDF stores in dynamic modern Web applications, where users increasingly contribute content as often as they read content. SPARQL Update is a language proposed by the W3C for fine grained updates for RDF stores. In this work we propose an operational semantics for an update language for RDF, which models core features of SPARQL Update. Firs...
