Linking Propositions

چکیده
The function words of a language provide explicit information about how propositions are to be related. We have examined a subset of these function words, namely the subordinating conjunctions which link propositions within a sentence, using sentences taken from corpora stored on magnetic tape. On the hasis of this analysis, a computer program for Dutch language generation and comprehensien has been extended to deal with the subordinating,; conjunctions. We present an overview of the underlying dimensions that were used in describing the semant ics and pragmatics of the Dutch subordinating conjunctions. We propose a Universal set of Linking Dimensions, sufficient to speeify the subordinating conjunction.,; in any language. This ULD is a first proposal for the representat ion required for a computer program to understand or t ranslate the subordinating conjunctions of any natural language.

متن کاملDoes Compositionality Entail Complexity ?
The view that propositions are mereologically complex structured entities is the regnant paradigm in the philosophy of language and linguistics. As Steven Schiffer says, “Virtually every propositionalist accepts [compositionality] and rejects unstructured propositions”, and even the “new” theories of propositions defended by Peter Hanks, Jeffrey King, Scott Soames, and Jeff Speaks take proposit...
