walter benjamin proposes that a work of art does not belong to a specific time; rather it is transient. a work of art has a 'temporal effect' which is considered as the 'context' of the work in which it has been written. the 'context' cannot be reconstructed to be the same as what once existed;it is constructed.translator's job is to recreate the life of the original work from one language to a...

Cyber parental control aims to filter objectionable web content and prevent children from being exposed harmful content. Succeeding in detecting blocking depends heavily on the accuracy of topic model. A reliable ground truth dataset is essential for building effective cyber models validation new detection methods. The measurement labeling unobjectionable websites dataset. lack publicly accessi...

The project of giving an account of meaning in natural languages goes largely by assigning truth-conditional content to sentences. I will call the view that sentences have truth-conditional content propositionalism as it is common to identify the truth-conditional content of a sentence with the proposition it expresses. This content plays an important role in our explanations of the speech-acts...

According to some pragmatists, certain conversational implicatures of an uttered sentence may be composed into the truth-conditional content of more complex constructions (e.g. conditionals or comparatives) in which that sentence is embedded. I present two arguments against this view, the one based on the intuitive (in)validity of arguments couched in natural language, the other on the (in)cohe...

 It is standardly assumed that there is a distinction between truth-conditional content (e.g. entailment) and non-truth-conditional content (e.g. presupposition and implicature).  Another, more recent distinction is made between at-issue content (the “main point” of the utterance) and not-at-issue content (in some sense “secondary” to the main point).  Ever growing evidence that those two di...

In his seminal work, “Demonstratives”, David Kaplan shows how to define validity (or logical truth) for a language containing indexical expressions such as ‘I’, ‘now’, ‘today’, ‘that’, and others. Kaplan’s great insight in that work is that the indices for context and for circumstances of evaluation (which Kaplan takes to be time and world) play conceptually distinct roles in semantics. To capt...
