Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Quotation marks in natural language that do not function straightforwardly as devices for securing reference to linguistic objects have generally been categorized as instances of either mixed quotation or scare quotation. I argue that certain uses of quotation marks in natural language resist assimilation to either of these two theoretical ...

Singular and Plural Functions for Functional Logic Programming
, 2012 Functional logic programming (FLP) languages use non-terminating and non-confluent constructor systems (CS's) as programs in order to define non-strict non-determi-nistic functions.

Uneventful: Event Semantics for “Qua”
Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Event semantics promise a straightforward account of the truth conditions of qualifications with “as” or “qua” as well as the inferences such qualifications license. In this paper, I argue that these promises are difficult to keep. On natural ways of developing the view, an event semantics of qualification yields either the wrong predictions ...

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To measure is to err. Serving both numeric and non‐numeric measurement, the language of measurement refers to margins of error, within which measurement reports locate their measurements. Such reports and reasoning from them invoke what is known and what is known to be known about error‐strewn measurement to derive and contrast the ...

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In a pure event semantics for natural language, the domain of quantification and predication is limited to events and states. I offer pure event semantic analyses of several phenomena, some of which have not been treated before in formal semantics. In the pure event semantics sketched in the second section, nouns are state predicates, and this

The agentive achievement of acceptance
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 3-24, July 2025.Abstract Is acceptance an act or a state? Jonathan Cohen is often seen as a proponent of the view that acceptance is a mental act. In contrast, Michael Bratman claims that acceptance is a mental state. This paper argues that the evidence supports a more subtle approach.

Guardians for Concurrent Systems [PDF]
, 1980 In this paper we survey the current state of the art on fundamental aspects of concurrent systems. We discuss the notion of concurrency and discuss a model of computation which unifies the lambda calculus model and the sequential stored program model. We

Aboutness and universal generalization
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 325-342, July 2025.Abstract We motivate and present a novel semantic theory for universal generalizations (‘every A$A$ is a B$B$’), contributing to a growing theoretical line that gives equal prominence to subject matter and truth conditions when modelling propositional content.
