Setting up exhaustive values

چکیده
This paper argues that exhaustification is empirically and theoretically important as a tool in the semantic description of various constructions in natural language. Discussion focuses on the comparative construction, and presents a view of exhaustification as a ‘control element’ that influences the interpretation of a more basic element: the existential quantifier.

We have referred to this approach as pseudo-exhaustive testing [91]: clearly it is not exhaustive because we do not cover all possible inputs and issues such as timing and concurrenc...
متن کاملIncomplete Ordinal Information in Value Tree Analysis
In value tree analysis, additive value functions are used to model alternatives' overall values. Diculties in complete evaluation of alternatives' attribute-specic values (scores) and attributes' relative importance have spurred research on the modeling of incomplete preference information. This thesis shows how incomplete ordinal information, captured as ordinal information where a set of rank...
متن کاملFair Processes for Priority Setting: Putting Theory into Practice; Comment on “Expanded HTA: Enhancing Fairness and Legitimacy”
Embedding health technology assessment (HTA) in a fair process has great potential to capture societal values relevant to public reimbursement decisions on health technologies. However, the development of such processes for priority setting has largely been theoretical. In this paper, we provide further practical lead ways on how these processes can be implemented. We first present the misconce...
