Sameness, Ellipsis and Anaphora
We compare explicit assertions of sameness with analogous elliptical and anaphoric expressions, and find striking differences in their interpretation. We account for those differences with a two part proposal: first, we propose that same is additive, similar to too. Second, same must take scope over a containing event-denoting expression. We give evidence that the scope-taking of same is subjec...
متن کاملRelative-sameness counterpart Theory
Just as set theory can be divorced from Ernst Zermelo’s original axiomatization of it, counterpart theory can be divorced from the eight postulates that were originally stipulated by David Lewis (1968, p. 114) to constitute it. These were postulates governing some of the properties and relations holding among possible worlds and their inhabitants. In particular, counterpart theory can be divorc...
متن کاملOptimal inference of sameness.
Deciding whether a set of objects are the same or different is a cornerstone of perception and cognition. Surprisingly, no principled quantitative model of sameness judgment exists. We tested whether human sameness judgment under sensory noise can be modeled as a form of probabilistically optimal inference. An optimal observer would compare the reliability-weighted variance of the sensory measu...
متن کاملSameness of Fregean sense
This paper develops a criterion for sameness of Fregean senses. I consider three criteria: logical equivalence, intensional isomorphism, and epistemic equipollence. I reject the first two and argue for a version of the third.
متن کاملSameness between based universal algebras
The abstract representation-free Algebra of the past century is unable to formalize algebra sameness. A counterexample shows a universal transformation that cannot be representation-free. Then, to define transformations between based universal algebras we must introduce the representations corresponding to the bases, contrary to what was possible in general vector spaces and believed possible i...
