The present study intended to compare the complaint responses used by President Rouhani and President Obama in the Iranian and US news interview contexts. For this purpose, Boxer’s (1993) six types of indirect complaint responses were adopted: ‘ignorance’, ‘questions’, ‘topic switch’, ‘contradiction’, ‘joke/teasing’, ‘advice/lecture’ and ‘agreement/commiseration’. The transcripts of the live ne...

Untouchable Spring as a novel epitomizes the struggle of Dalits and their assertion for self-identity through means revolution. Religious conversion was seen primary source to gain social ascendancy hence large number untouchables, specifically Malas Madigas in Andhra Pradesh converted Christianity however it still did not provide them deserved status. The presents how this resistance is radica...

There is widespread acknowledgement that the law of non-contradiction is an important logical principle. However, there is less-than-universal agreement on exactly what the law amounts to. This unclarity is brought to light by the emergence of paraconsistent logics in which contradictions are tolerated: From the point of view of proofs, not everything need follow from a contradiction — from the...

We demonstrate a contradiction of quantum mechanics with local hidden variable theories for continuous quadrature phase amplitude ~‘‘position’’ and ‘‘momentum’’! measurements. A contradiction is shown possible for two quantum states: a pair-coherent state, and a superpositions of two coherent states, where the superposition state has been squeezed by the action of a two-mode squeezing operator....

Being a pragmatic and not a referential approach to semantics, the dialogical formulation of paraconsistency allows the following semantic idea to be expressed within a semi-formal system: In an argumentation it sometimes makes sense to distinguish between the contradiction of one of the argumentation partners with himself (internal contradiction) and the contradiction between the partners (ext...

Vacuum energy density has been defined and mass formation from “space-time” viewed a different perspective. This explanation for vacuum is based on conversion of space into time keeping “space-time density” as constant. Equations mutual have derived. As result, new concept creation explained. By postulating that universe constant, low high values cosmological constant shown the exchange between...

Our purpose is to deene a semantics that extends Well Founded Semantics for programs with classical negation, and which avoids the absence of models caused by contradictions brought about by closed world assumptions. This extension relies on allowing to take back such closed world assumptions, through making their truth value become undeened, and thus permiting noncontradictory models to appear...

The raise of extension set provides reasonable logical foundation for the automatic solving of contradiction problem. This paper views contradiction as an unsatiable concept, an unrealizable action or an item that can't meet the satisfaction of a certain concept, analyzes a representation language in face of contradiction problem, which is, a new extension description logic--ALCD-ES. Syntax def...

We apply to normal logic programs with integrity rules a contradiction removal approach, and use it to uniformly treat diagnosis and debugging, and as a matter of fact envisage programs as artifacts and fault-nding as debugging. Our originality resides in applying to such programs the principle that if an assumption leads to contradiction then it should be revised: assumptions are not A literal...
