Psychologists have long been interested in the integrated specificity hypothesis, which maintains that stressors elicit fairly distinct behavioral, emotional, and biological responses that are molded by selective pressures to meet specific demands from the environment. This issue of Psychological Bulletin features a meta-analytic review of the evidence for this proposition by T. F. Denson, M. S...

In their new book Relativism and Monadic Truth, Herman Cappelen and John Hawthorne seek to defend a " mainstream " view of the contents of thought and talk, which they call Simplicity, against recent " analytic relativist " here-says (including my own). Simplicity consists in five theses: T1 There are propositions and they instantiate the fundamental monadic properties of truth simpliciter and ...

has L = 5. A composition with L = 1 is known as a Carlitz composition. The characteristics of Carlitz compositions and their generating function C〈1〉(z) (see Proposition 1) are studied in great detail in [4, 5]. The solution to the longest run problem can be broken down into four main sections. In the first section, we find a family of generating functions for integer compositions that keeps tr...

This paper describes our efforts for the development of a Proposition Bank for Urdu, an Indo-Aryan language. Our primary goal is the labeling of syntactic nodes in the existing Urdu dependency Treebank with specific argument labels. In essence, it involves annotation of predicate argument structures of both simple and complex predicates in the Treebank corpus. In this paper, we describe the ove...

The concept of component, even if an old one, has not yet given all its expressive power as far as building complex systems is concerned. New proposals for components have appeared at design or code level. Although they are demonstrative, we think they are still not sufficient enough. It is fundamental for us that the concept of sofware component appears as soon as possible in the life cycle, i...

Proposition algebra is based on Hoare’s conditional connective, which is a ternary connective comparable to if-then-else and used in the setting of propositional logic. Conditional statements are provided with a simple semantics that is based on evaluation trees and that characterizes so-called free valuation congruence: two conditional statements are free valuation congruent if, and only if, t...

The PropBank project is creating a corpus of text annotated with information about basic semantic propositions. PropBank I (Kingsbury & Palmer, 2002) added a layer of predicateargument information, or semantic roles, to the syntactic structures of the English Penn Treebank. This paper presents an overview of the second phase of PropBank Annotation, PropBank II, which is being applied to English...
