Sound to meaning correspondences in spoken language are assumed to be largely arbitrary. However, research has identified a number of exceptions to the arbitrariness assumption. In particular, non-arbitrary mappings between sound and shape, the bouba/kiki effect, have been documented across diverse languages and both children and adults are sensitive to this type of sound symbolic mapping. The ...

In this chapter, I consider hard cases: truths about mathematics, morality, ontology, intentionality, modality, and a number of other domains. These are all domains outside the scope of chapters 3 and 4, such that there is some question about whether all truths in these domains are scrutable from more basic truths or from PQT I. It is easy for the treatment of hard cases to be comically brief. ...

where t is a complex variable. By Assumption I, we see that the series (1.3) is convergent when <t < 0. We further assume the following: (Assumption II ) ψ(s) can be continued analytically to the whole complex plane C, and holomorphic for all s ∈ C. In any fixed strip σ1 ≤ σ ≤ σ2, ψ(s; u) is uniformly convergent to ψ(s) as u → 1 + 0. Furthermore there exists a certain θ0 = θ0(σ1, σ2) ∈ R with 0...

In this paper, we use identification-robust methods to assess the empirical adequacy of a New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) equation. We focus on the Gali and Gertler’s (1999) specification, on both U.S. and Canadian data. Two variants of the model are studied: one based on a rationalexpectations assumption, and a modification to the latter which consists in using survey data on inflation exp...

The knowledge of the multivariate stochastic dependence between the returns of asset classes is of importance for many finance applications, such as, e.g., asset allocation or risk management. By means of goodness-of-fit tests, it is analyzed for a multitude of portfolios consisting of different asset classes whether the stochastic dependence between the portfolios’ constituents can be adequate...
