Most transformational linguists would no longer create explicit deep structures. Instead they adopt a surface-tnterpretlve approach. We find deep structures indIspensable for projection into a semantic network. In conjunction wrth a reference architecture based on constraint-posting, they mlnlmlze referential non-determinism% We extend Marcus’ Determm~sm Hypothesis to include rmmed/ate referenc...

This article shows how the social sciences, particularly human geography, rejected hard determinism by the mid-twentieth century largely on the deontological basis that it is irreconcilable with social justice, yet this rejection came just before a burst of creative development in consequentialist theories of social justice that problematize a facile rejection of determinism on moral grounds, a...

Parallelism is often required for performance. In these situations an excess of non-determinism harmful as it means the program can have several different behaviours or even results. Even in domains such high-performance computing where parallelism crucial performance, computed value should be deterministic. Unfortunately, programs also allows dynamic scheduling tasks, reacting to first task th...

This article argues the virtues of a particular research methodology, the confrontational stance, for making theory count by helping it to formulate approximate truths of some rigor. Argument proceeds by first showing how a particular anthropological tradition, social anthropology, achieved success by haphazardly adopting such a stance; and then by suggesting certain requirements needed to syst...

The Arabic language is the most luxurious in which Holy Qur’an was revealed, and words of God its meanings can only be understood by understanding secrets language, rules terminology, when extracting some poetic verses that contradict well-known rule. Some them may express something abnormal, others same thing as being rare, or necessarily poetic, so I wanted to understand what meant these term...
