Reference and Computational Models of Illocutionary Acts
My general goal in this paper is to explore possible relations between a cognitive analysis of the notion of reference on the one hand, and computational models of speech acts (illocutionary acts, to be precise) on the other. On the cognitive side, we have the following problem: how can thoughts (and sentences that articulate them) be about objects? The deceptive simplicity of the question mask...
متن کاملTheoretical foundations for illocutionary structure parsing
Illocutionary structure in real language use is intricate and complex, and nowhere more so than in argument and debate. Identifying this structure without any theoretical scaffolding is extremely challenging even for humans. New work in Inference Anchoring Theory has provided significant advances in such scaffolding which are helping to allow the analytical challenges of argumentation structure...

The aim of illocutionary logic is to explain how context can affect the meaning of certain special kinds of performative utterances. Recall that performative utterances are understood as follows: a speaker performs the illocutionary act (e.g. act of assertion, of conjecture, of promise) with the illocutionary force (resp. assertion, conjecture, promise) named by an appropriate performative verb...

What is it about human nature that drives some to chase a postage stamp or coin, precisely because it is rare, and others of us to crave the stamp of approval that comes with publishing a paper in a prestige journal? It is not uncommon for prestige-seeking journals (or ...

Programs have to be designed in such a way as to make them looking good and being handy for all users. Adaptive interface, with all the numerous achievements throughout 30 years of its history, contains and in reality is based on one fundamental flaw – on the assumption that designer knows better than anyone else what is good for users in each and all cases. The new type of programs – user-driv...
