In the logical literature, Discursive (or Discussive) Logic introduced by Stanis law Jaśkowski is seen as one of the earliest examples of the so-called paraconsistent logic. There is some confusion over what is actually discursive logic nevertheless. One of the possible sources of the confusion is easy to discern; it comes from the fact that Jaśkowski published his two papers in Polish and thei...

Yet surprisingly enough there does not seem to exist anywhere in the literature a clear general definition of this concept or the more general one of "externality."

This paper describes how discursive knowledge, given by the discursive theories RST (Rhetorical Structure Theory) and CST (Crossdocument Structure Theory), may improve the automatic evaluation of local coherence in multi-document summaries. Two of the main coherence models from literature were incremented with discursive information and obtained 91.3% of accuracy, with a gain of 53% in relation...

In audiovisual composition, coupling montage moving images with music is common practice. Interpretation of the effect on an audioviewer's consequent interpretation of the composition is discursive and unquantified. Methodology for evaluating the audiovisual multimodal interactivity is proposed, developing an analysis procedure via the study of modality interdependent transient structures, expl...

It does so by bringing closer the agenda of discursive institutionalism (DI) and gender policy analysis, drawing upon the recent sociological and discursive turns in the study of the domestic impact of Europe, and the long-term inter...

The article discusses how new right-wing narratives are framed for local political issues and these frames coincide with interpretation schemes. We apply a scale frame analysis in four small-city case studies to examine scalar discursive dynamics. In contrast widespread assumption, our results show: New agitation on the level is not just process of ‘downscaling’ narratives, which basically addr...
