How children go about learning the general regularities that govern language, as well as keeping track of the exceptions to them, remains one of the challenging open questions in the cognitive science of language. Computational modeling is an important methodology in research aimed at addressing this issue. We must determine appropriate learning mechanisms that can grasp generalizations from ex...

is well known that X rays produce various types of chromosomal reCrrangements and deficiencies which may cause variegation, but induced reassortment of markers on homologous chromatids appears not to have been reported. In higher plants, somatic variegation can rarely be subjected to critical analysis. One major difficulty is the limited number of appropriate somatic markers usable to distingui...

Epistemic must is used to present a conclusion. In this paper, I explore the hypothesis that this should be modeled computationally using the notion of argument presented by Simari and Loui [16]. An utterance of must p in conversational context is interpreted as asserting that the argument hA; pi is justi ed in . The parameter A provides a set of reasoning rules which, along with factual premis...

This paper develops an account of mood selection with attitude predicates in French. I start by examining the “contextual commitment” account of mood developed by Paul Portner and Aynat Rubinstein (P&R). I raise empirical and theoretical challenges for P&R’s analysis of contextual commitment and its role in P&R’s explanations of mood selection. There are indicativeselecting verbs that are felic...

Purpose – Felicitous writing is enormously important. However, the art of writing well is rarely addressed by marketing scholars. This paper seeks to argue that the marketing academy has much to learn from historiography, a sub-discipline devoted to the explication of historical writing. Design/methodology/approach – Although it is primarily predicated on published works, this paper is not a co...

Over many years, TEX and LATEX systems have proved successful in providing high quality, affordable typesetting from the desktop. This success has tended to disguise some of the less felicitous design decisions made in good faith in earlier days. These are now making it harder to keep LATEX-based systems in line with user expectations, as the defaults remain rooted in a document model and a ren...
