Complement set reference
The paper considers the phenomenon of complement anaphora and offers an analysis in the framework of optimality theoretic semantics / pragmatics. I argue that from an interpretation perspective there is a preference for reference to the so-called REFSET over all other sets associated with quantificational structures. Reference to the complement set is thus only possible when two conditions are ...
متن کاملAnaphoric reference to quantified antecedents: an event-related brain potential study.
We report an event-related brain potential (ERP) study examining how readers process sentences containing anaphoric reference to quantified antecedents. Previous studies indicate that positive (e.g. many) and negative (e.g. not many) quantifiers cause readers to focus on different sets of entities. For example in Many of the fans attended the game, focus is on the fans who attended (the referen...
متن کاملResolving Complement Anaphora
In a quantified expression, the possibility of referring to the set-theoretical difference of restrictor and scope is known as complement anaphora (CA). Existing literature suggests two ways of analyzing this phenomenon either as confusion with reference to the maximal set, or as genuine complement reference. This paper will show that resolving an anaphor to the complement set is never a viable...
متن کاملSOME RESULTS ON THE COMPLEMENT OF THE INTERSECTION GRAPH OF SUBGROUPS OF A FINITE GROUP
Let G be a group. Recall that the intersection graph of subgroups of G is an undirected graph whose vertex set is the set of all nontrivial subgroups of G and distinct vertices H,K are joined by an edge in this graph if and only if the intersection of H and K is nontrivial. The aim of this article is to investigate the interplay between the group-theoretic properties of a finite group G and the...
متن کاملWhen does the complement of the annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring admit a cut vertex?
The rings considered in this article are commutative with identity which admit at least two nonzero annihilating ideals. Let $R$ be a ring. Let $mathbb{A}(R)$ denote the set of all annihilating ideals of $R$ and let $mathbb{A}(R)^{*} = mathbb{A}(R)backslash {(0)}$. The annihilating-ideal graph of $R$, denoted by $mathbb{AG}(R)$ is an undirected simple graph whose vertex set is $mathbb{A}(R...
متن کاملModelling Decision Problems Via Birkhoff Polyhedra
A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
