This article presents a survey of and an investigation into the notion of information status. Based on insights from DRT and presupposition theory a new variant of IS taxonomis is developed, considering issues such as accommodation and underspecification of text with regard to hearer knowledge.

In this paper, we show that bilattices are robust mathematical structures that provide a natural accommodation to, and bridge between, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and interval-valued fuzzy sets. In this way, we resolve the controversy surrounding the formal equivalence of these two models, and open up the path for a new tradition for representing positive and negative information in fuzzy set the...

Dear Editor Mordi and Ciuffreda (2004) have used an objective infrared optometer to measure the dynamic aspects of accommodation with aging in a large well-designed study. Their study demonstrates no change in the time constant and peak velocity/amplitude of accommodation with age. Based upon this observation, the authors correctly conclude that their findings imply that presbyopia cannot be du...

Previous studies have found that subjects can increase the velocity of accommodation using visual exercises such as pencil push ups, flippers, Brock strings and the like and myriad papers have shown improvement in accommodation facility (speed) and sufficiency (amplitude) using subjective tests following vision training but few have objectively measured accommodation before and after training i...

For a long time basic accommodation capacities represented the dominant type of accommodation in tourist offer, while at the same time complementary accommodation capacities were neglected. However, recently there has been a growing interest for complementary, substitute types of tourist accommodation, both in the Republic of Croatia and in Dubrovnik, where since 2000 a significant increase of ...
