Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) is generally construed as a fully lexicalized formalism, where all grammars use one and the same universal set of rules, and crosslinguistic variation is isolated in the lexicon. In this paper, we show that the weak generative capacity of this ‘pure’ form of CCG is strictly smaller than that of CCG with grammar-specific rules, and of other mildly context-sen...

For surviving in their complex and dynamic environments, organisations should be adaptable and interoperable with these environments. Stakeholders’ expectations change unpredictably and are often dependent on the contextual information. A context sensitive BP model is able to adapt the execution of the instances to the changing contexts and then to the stakeholders’ requirements. Our objective ...

In this paper we describe the architectural and functional characteristics of Bus Catcher, a context sensitive prototype system for public transportation users. Bus Catcher assists mobile users in planning their bus rides by providing timely and accurate information about current bus locations and estimated arrival times. A complete report on the implementation together with a preliminary evalu...

This article is concerned with the social organization of mediation in learning environments. It seeks to further articulate the sociocultural notion of mediation in sociointeractional terms, combining insights from the sociocultural approach to cognition and the microinteractionist, especially ethnomethodological approach to social activities.Amicroanalysisofmediation incommunicative2nd-langua...

The literature on predicates of personal taste (PPTs) has focused on a surprisingly limited range of expressions. This narrow focus has led to problematic theoretical conclusions about the syntax and semantics. I argue that PPTs are an instance of a more interesting general category of (what I call) evaluational predicates. Like other gradable adjectives, PPTs are sensitive to a relevant degree...

This paper addresses an interesting array of facts about Chinese common nouns in some detail. For example, Chinese common nouns, in their bare forms, often stand alone at argument positions, display a variety of context-sensitive interpretations, never combine with numerals without an intervening classifier, and combine with a plurality marker in a highly selective way. It is argued that this w...

Text Segmentation is one of the critical and vital step in OCR system of any language because accuracy of OCR depends upon correctly segmented characters. Segmentation divide the text images into its constituent parts (i.e. lines, components or words and individual characters). As Urdu and Arabic are highly cursive and context sensitive in nature and have improper space between words therefore,...

Intelligent, context sensitive content assist (also known as code completion) plays an important role in the effectiveness of model editors. This is not only true for textual language notations, but also for graphical notations that often contain a significant amount of textual elements. This paper presents techniques to describe content assists for meta-model based textual model editors. We sh...

We prove that a variant of the insertion encoding of Albert, Linton and Ruškuc for any class of pattern avoiding permutations is context-senstive. It follows that every finitely based class of permutations bijects to a context-sensitive language.

We investigate various language famili$:s which can be obtained from sentential form languages of semi-Thue systems by applying codmgs, weak codings, non-erasing homomorphisms, and arbitrary homomorphi5rns. We also distinguish between monotone, contexi-independent, and context-dependent semi-Thur systems with at most one or finitely many starting words. Finally, we study the effect of erasing p...
