QUANTIFICATION AND PERSPECTIVE IN RELATIVIST SEMANTICS

features of short story in translated and non-translated literature: a polysystemic perspective

ترجمه متون ادبی در دنیای امروز از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. فرهنگ های مختلف با استفاده از متون ادبی ملل و فرهنگ های دیگر سعی در غنی کردن فرهنگ و ادبیات کشور خود دارند. کشور ما نیز از این قاعده مستثنی نیست. در ایران، ترجمه متون ادبی اروپائی که با دوران مشروطه ایرانی آغاز می شود موجب تغییرات اساسی در فرهنگ، شیوه زندگی و تفکر ایرانیان شده است. در این دوران نه تنها در امورات سیاسی و فکری کشور تغی...

On Dependency and Quantification in Dynamic Semantics

This paper considers how the interaction of quantification and dependent anaphora may be analysed in a dynamic semantics. It discusses a simple theory of the creation and accessibility of dependencies based on a dynamic semantics for distributivity and some basic assumptions on number agreement in discourse. This theory forms a partial defence of the line of semantics set out by van den Berg 19...

Finite Relativist Geometry Grounded in Perceptual Operations

Formal geometry is a fundamental tool for showing how relevant metric qualities, such as depths, lengths, and volumes, as well as location concepts, such as points, can be constructed from experience. The ontological challenge of information grounding lies in the choice of concepts to consider as primitive, vs. those to be constructed. It also lies in accounting for the relativity and finitenes...

Facilitating network (inter-organizational) learning: a relativist/pragmatist perspective on participatory policy analysis

In today’s network society policy analysis is more and more implemented by means of participatory approaches and methods. This is induced by the fact that power and knowledge are widely distributed among various groups of network actors (stakeholders). The network characteristics of our (western) societies (Castells, 1996) more or less force us to look at policy analysis from a more relativist ...
