This paper introduces a type system for Extensible Dependency Grammar (xdg) (Debusmann et al., 2004), a new, modular grammar formalism based on dependency grammar. As xdg is based on graph description, our emphasis is on capturing the notion of multigraph, a tuple of arbitrary many graphs sharing the same set of nodes. An xdg grammar consists of the stipulation of an extensible set of parametri...

although in principle the benefit and loss resulted from partnership is to be taken into consideration in private relationships proportionate to the parties’ shares, prediction of stipulating more benefit or exempting all or part of the loss in the company’s contracts, with respect to the existing necessities and the need for maximum participation, is a common practice. whereas, the article 575...

According to a recent convention on human rights and biomedicine, coercive treatment of psychiatric patients may only be given if, without such treatment, serious harm is likely to result to the health of the patient; it must not be given in the interest of other people. In the present article a discussion is undertaken about the implication of this stipulation for the use of coercion in psychi...

This paper provides evidence for an ambiguity of bare VPs in the English conditional conjunction construction. This ambiguity, undetected by previous researchers, provides a key to the development of a compositional semantic analysis of conditional conjunction with imperative first conjuncts. The analysis combines existing semantic theories of imperatives, the future tense, modal subordination,...

In this paper we deene the rather general framework of Monotonic Logic Programs, where the main results of (deenite) logic programming are validly extrapolated. Whenever deening new logic programming extensions, we can thus turn our attention to the stipulation and study of its intuitive algebraic properties within the very general setting. Then, the existence of a minimum model and of a monoto...

The ASBMB is not in favor of such an award. Economic incentives typically benefit the group receiving the direct investment. Thus, emeritus awards will benefit eligible senior scientists; however, even with the stipulation that the award focus on mentoring, its effects, if any, on junior faculty members will be difficult to discern. Moreover, as discussed in point 6, such an award mechanism may...

Recent arguments for relativist semantic theories have centered on the phenomenon of “faultless disagreement.” This paper offers independent motivation for such theories, based on the interpretation of predicates of personal taste in certain attitude contexts and presuppositional constructions. It is argued that the correct interpretation falls out naturally from a relativist theory, but requir...
