Movement, Variables and Hamblin Alternatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sets of Hamblin alternatives are often used side by side syntactic movement and variable binding. Shan (2004) shows that previous attempts at defining a Predicate Abstraction rule for variable binding while using sets of alternatives face serious problems: they overgenerate alternatives and/or are incapable of handling binding into a wh-phrase. This paper provides a solution by assuming Poesio’s (1996) general type 〈〈a,τ〉 ,t〉 and by borrowing and extending Rullmann and Beck’s (1997) treatment of wh-phrases as definites.

Metalinguistic Comparison in an Alternative Semantics for Imprecision
This paper offers an analysis of metalinguistic comparatives such as more dumb than crazy in which they differ from ordinary comparatives in the scale on which they compare: ordinary comparatives use scales lexically determined by particular adjectives, but metalinguistic ones use a generallyavailable scale of imprecision or ‘pragmatic slack’. To implement this idea, I propose a novel compositi...

متن کاملAnalysis of temporal and attentional aspects of movement control.
The 5s performed a primary movement task and a two-choice reaction time (probe) task simultaneously. Both the number of possible actions, as conveyed by the signal, and precision of movement associated with the primary task were variables. The attention needed to perform the primary task was probed at one of several intervals following the primary task signal. Both the time and attention necess...
متن کاملEffect of Child Friendly Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Unimanual and Bimanual Function in Hemiplegia
Objectives: Hemiplegia is a non-progressive damage in premature growing brain which causes movement disorders in one side of the body. The objective of present research is to study the method of modified constraints induced movement therapy (CIMT) which can be appropriate on unimanual and bimanual functions of children with Hemiplegia. Methods: This single-blinded, randomized, control trial ...
