Consider a system consisting of a sender that wants to send a value to certain receivers. Byzantine agreement protocols [2, 7, 8] have been proposed to achieve this in the presence of arbitrary failures. The imposed requirement typically is that the fault-free receivers must all agree on the same value [7, 8]. (Dolev [2] analyzes a somewhat weaker form of agreement). It has been shown that such...

This paper presents an account of the interpretation of unmarked verb forms in which the entries of unmarked forms are uniformly unspecified for agreement features. The entries of impersonal verbs directly sanction agreement-neutral syntagmatic structures. However, the entries of unmarked personal verbs sanction structures with negative agreement values, as a consequence of an inflectional bloc...

Evaluating agreement between measurement methods or between observers is important in method comparison studies and in reliability studies. Often we are interested in whether a new method can replace an existing invasive or expensive method, or whether multiple methods or multiple observers can be used interchangeably. Ideally, interchangeability is established only if individual measurements f...

In this paper, there is an attempt to construct the notion of interstijectivity as a process of a coorakztion of participants’ contributions in joint activity. This notion incorporates the dynamics of bothagreement anddisagreement.
