For Moore, it is a paradox that although I would be absurd in asserting that (it is raining but I don’t believe it is) or that (it is raining but I believe it isn’t), such assertions might be true. But I would be also absurd in judging that the contents of such assertions are true. I argue for the strategy of explaining the absurdity of Moorean assertion in terms of conscious Moorean belief. On...

This paper is concerned with the acquisition of the semantics and pragmatics of evidentiality. Evidentiality markers encode the speaker’s source for the information being reported in the utterance. While languages like English express evidentiality in lexical markers (I saw that it was raining vs. I heard that it was raining), other languages grammaticalize evidentiality. In Turkish, for all in...

Since 1995 the school education sector has been a dominant focus for education for sustainabi li ty (EfS) in Austra lia (Tilbury, Coleman, & Garlick, 2005, p. 1). The commencement of the Austra lian Susta inable Schools In it iative (AuSSI) in 2003, with its whole school approach, dramatically increased this focus (Department of Education and Training, 2005b). The pilot for the Western Australi...

Feedforward neural networks have been successfully applied to a variety of classification problems, but th e number of classes used for experiments was too small to app ly the results directly to large-scale problems. This pap er presents several st rategies for applying feedforward neur al networks to large-scale, complex classificat ion problems: a two-stage classification scheme, a rapid lea...

Evidential markers encode the source of a speaker’s knowledge. While some languages express evidentiality by lexical markers (e.g. I saw that it was raining vs. I heard that it was raining), about a quarter of world’s languages grammaticalize evidentiality through specialized markers. For instance, Turkish obligatorily marks all instances of past reference with one of the following two suffixes...
