In allegories polysemy relates not only to the context and the audience’s understanding but also to the structural characters of these texts. This paper investigates the function of structural and narrative properties in the creation of multiple interpretations of an allegory. Focusing on the events and following a unique story-line is the most important trait in helping to read the alleg...

Abstract The knower paradox states that the statement ‘We know this is false’ leads to inconsistency. This article presents a fresh look at and some well-known solutions from literature. Paul Égré discusses three possible modal provability logic provides for by surveying comparing different interpretations of modality, originally described Skyrms, Anderson, Solovay. In article, background expla...

Hate speech in the form of racism and sexism is commonplace on the internet (Waseem and Hovy, 2016). For this reason, there has been both an academic and an industry interest in detection of hate speech. The volume of data to be reviewed for creating data sets encourages a use of crowd sourcing for the annotation efforts. In this paper, we provide an examination of the influence of annotator kn...

This article surveys work done in the last six years on the unification of various functional interpretations including Gödel’s dialectica interpretation, its Diller-Nahm variant, Kreisel modified realizability, Stein’s family of functional interpretations, functional interpretations “with truth”, and bounded functional interpretations. Our goal in the present paper is twofold: (1) to look back...

This paper describes the collection of an English-Japanese/Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation corpus. There are two main features of the corpus. The first is that professional simultaneous interpreters with different amounts of experience cooperated with the collection. By comparing data from simultaneous interpretation of each interpreter, it is possible to compare better interpretat...

In order to yield the intended interpretation for quantified expressions and comparatives, a compositional interpretation based on syntactic structure alone is not always possible. In the interpretation of these expressions, contextual information plays an important role. In general, we argue that context allows for a set of possible interpretations of an expression. Syntax may reduce this set ...

We report an experiment which seeks to determine how novice users’ conceptual understanding of graphs differs depending on the nature of the interaction with them. Undergraduate psychology students were asked to interpret three-variable “interaction” data in either bar or line graph form and were required to either think aloud while doing so or to produce written interpretations. Analysis of th...
