Structures of Ideological Systems Programming. The Case of Sustainability in Prices
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 1528-1537, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT This paper aims to demonstrate Niklas Luhmann's systems theory and its concept of ideologies as a general framework for analysing the actual implementation of normative ideas in modern society. Using the example of sustainable pricing within the economic system, it shows how values can be established at the programmatic level of function ...

Service-Oriented Logic Programming [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2015 We develop formal foundations for notions and mechanisms needed to support service-oriented computing. Our work builds on recent theoretical advancements in the algebraic structures that capture the way services are orchestrated and in the processes that

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 153-168, July 2026.ABSTRACT Many philosophical disputes have become so intractable that philosophers question whether there is a fact of the matter as to which side is right or whether these disputes are entirely verbal. Yet these “metadisputes” have also become intractable. This raises the question: Could they, too, be verbal? What would that even mean? Using tools from

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1479-1490, June 2026.ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

The Potential of Poetry in Sociolinguistics
Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 348-352, June 2026.ABSTRACT Research in the field of sociolinguistics has taken a relational and artistic turn, as scholars have developed creative means of showing research findings. Drawing on relational ethics, we explore the capacity of art to reach beyond the indexical.

(Co‐)Reference All the Way Down: A Unified Theory of (Pro) Nominals in Ordinary English
Theoria, Volume 92, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.

Language machines: Toward a linguistic anthropology of large language models
Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 1, May 2026.Abstract Large language models (LLMs) challenge long‐standing assumptions in linguistics and linguistic anthropology by generating human‐like language without relying on rule‐based structures. This introduction to the special issue Language Machines calls for renewed engagement with LLMs as socially embedded language technologies.

Meaning‐Making in the Theatre of the Mind: Reading and Interpreting a Play in the EFL Classroom
Literacy, Volume 60, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT This paper discusses how reading literary plays in‐character in the primary EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom can engage young language learners both in literary meaning‐making and in the target language. The study explores a drama‐based teaching approach that focuses on embodied role‐reading of a play, emphasising interpretation ...

Disentangling Parallelism and Interference in Game Semantics [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer ScienceGame semantics is a denotational semantics presenting compositionally the computational behaviour of various kinds of effectful programs. One of its celebrated achievement is to have obtained full abstraction results for programming languages with a ...

On infinite computations in denotational semantics
Theoretical Computer Science, 1983 AbstractFinite and, especially, infinite computations in languages with iteration or recursion are studied in the framework of denotational semantics, and a theorem is proved which relates their syntactic and semantic characterizations. A general proof method is presented to establish this type of relations, and it is shown how—in an induction on the ...
