Compositional, Variable Free, Binding Free and Structure Oriented Discourse Interpretation
نویسنده
چکیده
Our main objective will be to construct a fully compositional representation of nominal anaphora in discourse. The proposed representation is not dependent on the remote ascription (i.e. done outside the formal representation) of syntactic indexes, which identify anaphoric links. A formal language of variable free logic is introduced. It is based on dynamic semantics paradigm and is a variant of many-sorted type logic. We will also present the scope free treatment of quantification in multiple quantifier sentences. The interpretation of multiple quantifiers is defined by means of a construction of the polyadic Generalised Quantifier (GQ). The polyadic GQ is a constraint that should be satisfied by the denotation of a ‘clausal’ predicate.

Purpose: This article is an attempt to determine the share of two types of readings (profession-oriented reading and free reading) which are performed in public libraries. It also tries to show the types of library divisions (circulation, membership, collection, area and library clients) which explain the mentioned reading types. Method: In the present research, which is an applied research w...
متن کاملFocus without variables: A multi-modal analysis
It is an issue of ongoing controversy whether the information present at surface structure is sufficient for semantic interpretation or not. In the generative tradition the dominant position is that it is inevitable to enrich this structure with traces, indices etc. — devices that are to be interpreted like variables in logic — and that surface structure has to undergo certain syntactic transfo...
متن کاملExploring a type-theoretic approach to accessibility constraint modelling
Accessibility constraints When dealing with anaphora resolution, anaphoric expressions are often considered to have access to a restricted set of discourse referents. The choice of the relevant discourse referent inside this set may depends on various kinds of information (morphosyntactic features, semantic features, salience. . . ). But theories that give a dynamic interpretation of language a...
متن کاملAnaphora and Discourse Structure
We argue in this paper that many common adverbial phrases generally taken to signal a discourse relation between syntactically connected units within discourse structure, instead work anaphorically to contribute relational meaning, with only indirect dependence on discourse structure. This allows a simpler discourse structure to provide scaffolding for compositional semantics, and reveals multi...
متن کاملA Power Series Solution for Free Vibration of Variable Thickness Mindlin Circular Plates with Two-Directional Material Heterogeneity and Elastic Foundations
In the present paper, a semi-analytical solution is presented for free vibration analysis of circular plates with complex combinations of the geometric parameters, edge-conditions, material heterogeneity, and elastic foundation coefficients. The presented solution covers many engineering applications. The plate is assumed to have a variable thickness and made of a heterogeneous material whose p...
