Dynamic Event Structure and Habitat Theory

چکیده
In this brief note, I explore the cognitive mechanisms involved in interpreting the meanings of events, as conveyed through language. Specifically, I examine the notion of event simulation in the construction of linguistic meaning. Simulations are a special class of minimal models, generated from linguistic input, under a number of agentoriented cognitive constraints. An integral part of this model is a dynamic representation of processes and events, such as the Dynamic Event Structure presented here. I show how simulations are composed of entity and event habitats, which are contextualization functions, acting to embed a proposition into a minimal model.

Habitat Simulation Technique as a Powerful Tool for Instream Flow Needs Assessment and River Ecosystem Management
Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...
متن کاملDynamic system of strategic games
Maybe an event can't be modeled completely through one game but there is more chance with several games. With emphasis on players' rationality, we present new properties of strategic games, which result in production of other games. Here, a new attitude to modeling will be presented in game theory as dynamic system of strategic games and its some applications such as analysis of the clash betwe...
متن کاملDynamic Buckling of Embedded Laminated Nanocomposite Plates Based on Sinusoidal Shear Deformation Theory
In this study, the dynamic buckling of the embedded laminated nanocomposite plates is investigated. The plates are reinforced with the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and the Mori-Tanaka model is applied to obtain the equivalent material properties of them. Based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT), the motion equations are derived using the energy method and Hamilton's p...
متن کاملInvestigation of Double-layer Grid Space Structurer Resistance to Progressive Collapse
Considering the vulnerability of double-layer grid space structures to progressive collapse phenomenon, it is necessary to pay special attention to this phenomenon in the design process. Alternate path method is one of the most appropriate and accepted methods for progressive collapse resistant design of structures. Alternate Path Method permits local failure to occur but provides alternate pat...
