Power-associative antiflexible algebras have been studied by the author [3] and Kosier [2]. As a matter of terminology, we shall define an algebra as a finite dimensional vector space on which a multiplication is defined in which both distributive laws are satisfied. If A is an algebra over a field F of characteristic not two, then A has an attached algebra A + which is the same additive group ...

Even the simplest narratives combine multiple strands of information, integrating different characters and their actions by expressing multiple perspectives of events. We examined the emergence of referential shift devices, which indicate changes among these perspectives, in Nicaraguan Sign Language (NSL). Sign languages, like spoken languages, mark referential shift grammatically with a shift ...

This paper presents new inference techniques about language based on my theory of linguistic antinomies––pairs of apparently contradictory statements that complement each other. Since the cells, that is, the basic units of language are signs, the antinomies of language are the antinomies of signs and sign combinations. 1. Antinomy of the existence of language as part of the mind I take the conc...
