Dynamic Semantics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This article focuses on foundational issues in dynamic and static semantics, specifically on what is conceptually at stake between the dynamic framework and the truth-conditional framework, and consequently what kinds of evidence support each framework. The article examines two questions. First, it explores the consequences of taking the proposition as

Multimodal Optimal Base Station Selection Network for Intelligent Communications [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
With the rapid development of next-generation wireless communication systems, the increasing density of heterogeneous base stations and the dynamic nature of channel conditions have posed significant challenges to accurate and timely base station ...

Dynamic game semantics [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2020
AbstractThe present work achieves a mathematical, in particularsyntax-independent, formulation ofdynamicsandintensionalityof computation in terms ofgamesandstrategies. Specifically, we givegame semanticsof a higher-order programming language that distinguishes programmes with the same value yet different algorithms (or intensionality) and thehiding ...

Part-introducing 'percent' in English

open access: yesGlossa, 2022
Two uses of English percent, called ‘conservative’ and ‘reversed’, have been extensively discussed in the literature. In ‘reversed’ uses, percent introduces a predicate that characterizes a part of a larger whole.

Restriction without Quantification: Embedding and Probability for Indicative Conditionals

open access: yesErgo, An Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2021
Many modern theories of indicative conditionals treat them as restricted epistemic necessity modals. This view, however, faces two problems. First, indicative conditionals do not behave like necessity modals in embedded contexts, e.g., under ‘might’ and ‘

The English past tense as a definite description

open access: yesGlossa, 2023
There are two major groups of analyses in the literature on the English past tense; existential semantics with domain restriction, and the pronominal (i.e. anaphoric) analysis. In this paper, I discuss a group of data difficult for both of these analyses:

Triggering Presuppositions

open access: yesGlossa, 2021
While presuppositions are often thought to be lexically encoded, researchers have repeatedly argued for ‘triggering algorithms’ that productively classify certain entailments as presuppositions.

Multiple representational and dynamic conceptual analysis in the wild

open access: yesFórum Linguístico, 2021
Cognitive semantics has different research methods, such as introspection, corpora analysis, interaction analysis, and experiments. The analysis of “data in the wild” (corpora and interaction) is generally informed by theories, but rarely by the current ...

Semantics Aware Dynamic SLAM Based on 3D MODT

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The idea of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) being a solved problem revolves around the static world assumption, even though autonomous systems are gaining environmental perception capabilities by exploiting the advances in computer vision ...

On the semantics and pragmatics of epistemic vocabulary

open access: yesSemantics and Pragmatics, 2015
This paper motivates and develops a novel semantics for several epistemic expressions, including possibility and necessity modals and indicative conditionals. The semantics I defend constitutes an alternative to standard truth conditional theories, as it
