Linguistic and philosophical considerations on Bayesian semantics
Recently many theories of the semantics and pragmatics of deontic modals have relied on analogies with decision theory. One particularly straightforward way to make this connection is to build the semantics around degree scales, where the degrees in question involve expected (moral, personal, etc.) value. This “Bayesian” semantics has a number of attractive features involving information-sensit...
متن کاملLinguistic and Computational Semantics
We argue that because the very concept of computation rests on notions of interpretation, the semantics of natural languages and the semantics of computational formalisms are in the deepest sense the same subject. The attempt to use computational formalisms in aid of an explanation of natural language semantics, therefore, is an enterprise that must be undertaken with particular care. We descri...
متن کاملCould Semantics Be Something Else? Philosophical Challenges for Formal Semantics
Starting from an old, yet still relevant paper of Johan van Benthem, this paper explores the possible consequences of certain philosophical considerations for the concept of a formal semantics of natural language, and argues that this issue is important from the perspective of an overall theory of human information processing.
متن کامل2 Cross - Linguistic Semantics
Rooth & Partee (1982) and Rooth (1985) have shown that the English-specific rule-by-rule system of PTQ can be factores out into function application plus two transformations for resolving type mismatch (type lifting and variable binding). Building on these insights, this article proposes a universal system for type-driven translation, by adding two more innovations: local type determination for...
