Abstract It is now standard in the literature on reasons and rationality to distinguish normative from motivating reasons. Two issues have dominated philosophical theorising concerning latter: (i) whether we should think of them as certain (nonfactive) psychological states agent—the dispute over Psychologism; (ii) say that agent can ϕ for reason p only if p—the Factivism. This paper first intro...

The behaviors of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often erratic and difficult to predict. Most the time, they unable communicate effectively in their own language. Instead, using hand gestures pointing phrases. Because this, it can be for caregivers grasp patients’ requirements, although early detection condition make this much simpler. Assistive technology Internet Things (IoT)...

The article examines the structure of resultative participles in English: participles that denote a state resulting from a prior event, such as The cake is flattened or The metal is hammered. The analysis identifies distinct stative participles that derive from the different heights at which aspectual morphemes attach in a verbalizing structure. The Aspect head involved in resultative participl...

The study of the relationships between speech and gesture promises a lot of insights into speech production and comprehension processes. In this work we explore syntactic and semantic characteristics of verbal correlates of speech-accompanying gestures. The results of the corpora studies show, that we can reveal the statistical probability for certain types of gestures to appear in given contex...

In this paper we present an extension of the MATE/GNOME annotation scheme for anaphora (Poesio, 2004) which accounts for abstract anaphora in Danish and Italian. By abstract anaphora it is here meant pronouns whose linguistic antecedents are verbal phrases, clauses and discourse segments. The extended scheme, which we call the DAD annotation scheme, allows to annotate information about abstract...

At least with respect to the PP cases, this is a bit less familiar. The goal of this paper, apart from merely linking these two questions, is to give them the same (partial) answer: that Aktionsart restrictions imposed by a particular class of temporal adverbials are a special case of a more general restriction on measure-phrase modification, the Modification Condition of Winter (2001, 2005) an...

This paper describes an approach to predict non-verbal cues from speech-related features. Our previous investigations of audiovisual speech showed that there are strong correlations between the two modalities. In this work we developed two models using different kinds of Recurrent Artificial Neural Networks: Elman and NARX, to predict parameters of activity for head motion using linguistic and ...

Ontologies are a key component for several applications. Ontologies are often built by hand, but automatizing the process of ontology building has been and is even more recognized as very important for scaling and speeding up this process. However, several difficulties have been identified, some of them are quite fundamental. In this paper, we present our work for overcoming some of the fundame...

We describe a 57 year old, right handed, English speaking man initially diagnosed with progressive aphasia. Language assessment revealed inconsistent performance in key areas. Expressive language was reduced to a few short, perseverative phrases. Speech was severely apraxic. Primary modes of communication included gesture, pointing, gaze, physical touch and leading. Responses were 100% accurate...
