Many languages have a grammatical gender system whereby all nouns are assigned a gender (most commonly feminine, masculine, or neuter). Two studies examined whether (1) the assignment of genders to nouns is truly arbitrary (as has been claimed), and (2) whether the grammatical genders assigned to nouns have semantic consequences. In the first study, English speakers’ intuitions about the gender...

Business processes are increasingly being expressed in declarative terms, as business rules which express obligations concerning conduct, action, practice or procedure regarding a particular business activity or sphere of operation. However, the leading standard for business rules, Semantics for Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), leaves certain decisions concerning the precise synta...

Routinely, so much well-intentioned effort is thwarted and morale is destroyed in organisations because of the lack of commitment to decisions. The likelihood and consequence of this is greatest where divergent groups, ie, different divisions, department or units are involved. This paper discusses a Group Model Building case study using qualitative system dynamics to create consensus, team lear...

The analysis presented in this paper extends the uniform intersective (“boolean”) treatment of conjunctive coordinators to Heterofunctional Coordination (HC), i.e., coordination different grammatical functions. A compositional account HC based on mainstream derivational syntax is proposed, one that makes Champollion’s (2015) “quantificational event semantics” compatible with syntax. assumption,...

A metric semantics of the parallel object-based programming language Procol is introduced. It is divided into three layers 2], a global layer, an object layer, and a statement layer. At the global level, the sequence in the interactions between the objects (represented in the object layer) is described. The object level expresses the abstract behavior of one object, i.e., only those aspects tha...

0. This paper presents a novel account of the syntax and semantics of questions, making use of the framework for linguistic description developed by Richard Montague (1974). Certain features of the proposal are based on work by N. Belnap (1963), L. Aqvist (1965), C. L. Baker (1968, 1970), S. Kuno and J. Robinson (1972), C. L. Hamblin (1973), E. Keenan and R. Hull (1973), J. Hintikka (1974), Lew...
