23 ABSTRACT Psychological type theory provides a coherent, parsimonious meaning framework for understanding similarities and differences in the theoretical content of the psychological systems. The present report demonstrates that primary qualities of specific psychological type processes inform the theoretical content of the psychological systems. A typological analysis of the theoretical cont...

There is a rise in interest in the evaluation of meaning in real-life applications, e.g., for assessing the content of short answers. The approaches typically use a combination of shallow and deep representations, but little use is made of the semantic formalisms created by theoretical linguists to represent meaning. In this paper, we explore the use of the underspecified semantic formalism LRS...

The semantic annotation of dialogue corpora permits building efficient language understanding applications for supporting enjoyable and effective human-machine interactions. Nevertheless, the annotation process could be costly, time-consuming and complicated, particularly the more expressive is the semantic formalism. In this work, we propose a bootstrapping architecture for the semantic annota...

We consider first order modal logic C firstly defined by Carnap in “Meaning and Necessity” [1]. We prove elimination of nested modalities for this logic, which gives additionally the Skolem-Löwenheim theorem for C. We also evaluate the degree of unsolvability for C, by showing that it is exactly 0′. We compare this logic with the logics of Henkin quantifiers, Σ1 logic, and SO. We also shortly d...

Contextualized, meaning-based interaction in the foreign language is widely recognized as crucial for second language acquisition. Correspondingly, current exercises in foreign language teaching generally require students to manipulate both form and meaning. For Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems to support such activities, they thus must be able to evaluate the appropriateness of the meanin...

This paper discusses the phenomenon of what I call the “projection of non-at issue meaning via modal support” shown in the Japanese counterexpectational intensifier yoppodo and the counter expectational scale-reversal adverb kaette, and considers the variation of projective content from a new perspective. I show that, unlike the typical conventional implicatures (CIs) like appositives and expre...

This chapter presents an integrative approach to social cognitive and moral development by showing how descriptive (social) and prescriptive (moral) reasoning are interconnected in socio-moral meaning making. It is argued that socio-moral meaning making is based on processes of perspective differentiation and coordination through which persons come to understand descriptive and prescriptive asp...
