Papers in Honor of Lauri Karttunen.

Papers presented at the 4th European HPSG symposium.

This volume contains essays covering a range of issues related to Frege and his work. It discusses topics either in a Fregean spirit or in a dialogue with Frege's original views. Key papers concern themes within the common ground in which ontology and philosophical semantics intersect.

Focuses on the relationships between linguistic insights and language technology. In this volume, contributors offer perspectives on semantic representations for textual inference.

There are multitudes of ways in which predicative constructions can be analyzed. The author differentiates between the Fregean and Montagovian treatments of these constructions in order to better understand predicative constructions as a grammatical model.

Explores Japanese morphology and syntactic analysis, discourse, and natural language process applications. This book presents such techniques in a manner accessible to those with little or no familiarity with Japanese. It also features papers that may broaden the scope of our study of Japanese linguistic phenomena.

Japanese and Korean are typologically similar, with linguistic phenomena in one often having counterparts in the other. This volume features essays on the phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics of both languages

This volume tackles the slippery subject of 'meaning'.

This volume explores the intersubjective and social dimensions of self-deception.

This text asserts that grammatical relations such as subject and object are syntactic notions, and must be identified on the basis of syntactic properties, rather than by semantic roles or discourse functions. It uses data from Tagalog to test the theories on subjecthood that have been put forth.

Finding a particular scientific document amid thousands of other documents can often seem like an insurmountable task. This book shows how linguistic theory can provide a solution by analyzing rhetorical structures to make information retrieval easier and faster. It applies empirical discourse studies to pressing issues of document management.

Including papers that were inspired by the linguistics career of Ivan A Sag (1949-2013), this title is written to commemorate his many contributions to the field. It tackles a range of grammar-related issues and shares the perspective that the best theories of grammar attempt to account for the full diversity and complexity of language data.

In Modal Logic for Open Minds, Johan van Benthem provides an up-to-date introduction to the field of modal logic, outlining its major ideas and exploring the numerous ways in which various academic fields have adopted it. Van Benthem begins with the basic theories of modal logic, semantics, bisimulation, and axiomatics, and also covers more advanced topics, such as expressive power and computational complexity. The book then moves to a wide range of applications, including new developments in information flow, intelligent agency, and games. Taken together, the chapters show modal logic at the crossroads of philosophy, mathematics, linguistics, computer science, and economics. Most of the chapters are followed by exercises, making this volume ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in philosophy, computer science, symbolic systems, cognitive science, and linguistics.

With this textbook, Yehuda N. Falk provides an introduction to the theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar, aimed at both students and professionals who are familiar with other generative theories. Falk examines Lexical-Functional Grammar's relation to more conventional theories.

The philosopher Patrick Suppes has developed a unique and influential approach to studying the foundations of science - he combines an understanding of the main principles of scientific theories in axiomatic terms and formal models with a hands-on approach. This book searches for a common thread in Suppes' multifaceted work.

As one of the world's most eminent living philosophers, John Perry has covered a remarkable breadth of subjects in his published work. Looking at the way in which he deals with issues of self, communication, and reality, this title is organized in seven chapters that highlight different aspects of his work on the intersection of these subjects.

A French translation of seventeen papers by Donald E Knuth on algorithms both in the field of analysis of algorithms and in the design of new algorithms.

Features the papers that cover a range of topics in Japanese/Korean linguistics, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics.

Consists of selected papers from the seventh meeting of the Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language Conference, held at the University of Alberta in October 2004. The papers fall into five main categories, reflecting the cognitive and functional orientation of the conference.

In Arapesh, virtually every possible noun-final sound is represented in the paradigm of noun class and agreement markers, reflecting an interpenetration of sound structure and grammar that many theories would disallow as wildly unconstrained. This title describes these formal patterns.

Discusses two related research areas in the study of linguistics: the integration of form and meaning, and language and the human body.

Includes papers that cover numerous discrete problems, such as assorting, searching, data compression, theorem proving, and cryptography, as well as methods for controlling errors in numerical computations.

Presents thirty-six papers that encompasses a variety of areas, such as phonetics; phonology; morphology; syntax; semantics; pragmatics; discourse analysis; and the geographical and historical factors that influence the development of languages, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics.
