Throughout recorded history, sexually mature males have issued humorous insults in public. These ‘verbal duels’ are thought to discharge aggressive dispositions, and to provide a way to compete for status and mating opportunities without risking physical altercations. But, is there evidence that such verbal duels, and sexual selection in general, played any role in the evolution of specific pri...

Man-machine communication with natural language requires the integration of heterogeneous knowledges within a homogeneous framework. This problem concerns more particularly the speech/natural language interface. We propose in this paper an HPSG view of prosody illustrated with French intonation phenomena. We show that this linguistic theory is adapted for the integration representation: typed f...

This paper presents the principles of concept-driven engineering and the ConceptManager tool as an implementation of these principles. Concept-Driven Engineering is capable of eleminating inconsistencies and redundancy that occurr within projects, i.e. in the software-development process to increase quality, decrease time to market, and increase flexibility. This method is based on the principl...

This chapter provides a context and motivation for a language to describe transformations of models within an object-oriented framework. The requirements for such a language are given, and then an object-oriented model of the language’s abstract syntax is provided that meets these requirements. A concrete syntax is introduced along with some example transformations. Finally we discuss the tools...

This builds on previous work in which we have developed diagramming principles based on theories of structural object perception. We call these geon diagrams. We have previously shown that such diagrams are easy to remember and to analyze. To evaluate our hypothesis that geon diagrams should also be easy to understand we carried out an empirical study to evaluate the learnability of geon diagra...

Abstract The global growth of geotourism has increased the demand and quality for interpretation. However, in its pioneer stage, interpretation much ineffective interpretation, which hinders informative purpose geotourism. Moreover, lacks a systematic evaluation model. Such model is essential to future reliable minimising This paper exams whether currently proposed SSC (Semantic, Style Cultural...

This article attempts to place dependency annotation options on a solid theoretical and applied footing. By verifying the validity of some basic choices of the current dependency reference framework, Universal Dependencies (UD), in a perspective of general annotation principles, we show how some choices can lead to inconsistencies and discontinuities, partly due to UD’s alternation between synt...
