Scope Ambiguities through the Mirror
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we look at the interpretation of Quantifier Phrases from the perspective of Symmetric Categorial Grammar. We show how the apparent mismatch between the syntactic and semantic behaviour of these expressions can be resolved in a typelogical system equipped with two Merge relations: one for syntactic units, and one for the evaluation contexts of the semantic values associated with these syntactic units.

Resolving Scope Ambiguity in Coordination with Minimalist Grammars
One of the key problems in computational linguistics is resolving linguistic ambiguities of all kinds. This paper addresses a computational aspect of scope ambiguity in coordinate structures. I adopt a Minimalist Grammars formalism (Stabler, 1997; Stabler and Keenan, 2003; Kobele, 2006) to derive scope ambiguities and suggest a new explanation of scope effects in coordinate structures.
متن کاملScope of Practice of Forensic Midwifery: An Integrative Review
Background & aim: Forensic midwifery is a new major which has been established in response to the need of endangered women for forensic services and also the lack of service provision in this domain. However, there are ambiguities in the definition of this major and its scope of practice. The present study was conducted to investigate the scope of practice in forensic ...
متن کاملMirror Neurons and (Inter)subjectivity: Typological Evidence from East Asian Languages
Language is primarily constituted by action and interaction based on sensorimotor information. This paper demonstrates the nature of subjectivity and intersubjectivity through the neural mechanism and typological evidence of sentence-final particles from East Asian languages and extends to the discussion of the relationship between them. I propose that intersubjecivity is a kind of embedded or ...
متن کاملTreatment of the Mirror Foot with Central Ray Resection: Report of 2 Cases
The mirror foot is a rare congenital foot anomaly which is often associated with 6- to 8-toed polydactyly. Postaxial polydactyly is the most common form of this anomaly, while central polydactyly is seen infrequently. We report on 2 cases of the central mirror-foot anomaly. Calcaneus duplication and fibular hypoplasia were present in 1 case. We treated both patients by resecting the middle foot...
متن کاملRole of Complex Cells in Invariant Object Recognition
A major puzzle about visual system is how to deal with image variations in terms of lighting, deformation and others. It is important to have a code that is robust with respect to such changes and yet can distinguish between different shapes. We present here arguments that show that the complex cells of the visual cortex are precisely that. There is increasing evidence for an important role of ...
