چکیده
fictional names have been one of the most important and serious topics in the contemporary philosophy of language and metaphysics.several questions such as “do fictional names refer to any objects?” “are fictional characters existent objects?” have resulted in a considerable literature of philosophy. in this essay, we will follow two objectives. first we will describe and elaborate the ideas of three great philosophers who believe that fictional names are genuine and proper names which do refer to existent fictional characters. second we will criticize the theories of two philosophers (peter van inwagen and saul kripke’s theories) and will eventually defend the third i.e. nathan salmon’s theory of fictional names. through the issues we will presuppose direct reference theory as our main semantic theory for proper names .

Unravelling Names of Fictional Characters
In this paper we explore the correlation between the sound of words and their meaning, by testing if the polarity (‘good guy’ or ‘bad guy’) of a character’s role in a work of fiction can be predicted by the name of the character in the absence of any other context.

Gamification has been widely accepted in the HCI community in the last few years. However, the current debate is focused on its short-term consequences, such as effectiveness and usefulness, while its side-effects, long-term criticalities and systemic impacts are rarely raised. This workshop explores the gamification design space from a critical perspective, by using design fictions to help res...
متن کاملFictional Separation Logic
Separation logic formalizes the idea of local reasoning for heap-manipulating programs via the frame rule and the separating conjunction P ∗ Q, which describes states that can be split into separate parts, with one satisfying P and the other satisfying Q. In standard separation logic, separation means physical separation. In this paper, we introduce fictional separation logic, which includes mo...
