In dynamic semantics, the meaning of a sentence is modeled as a rule for how a body of information grows when the sentence is accepted. Recent work in dynamic semantics has analyzed sentences involving modals and conditionals as tests. Tests are a special type of dynamic meaning. When an agent learns a test, her information is guaranteed to either stay

Dynamic Semantics for Conceptual Graphs
1999Dynamisation in Conceptual Graph Theory has been stimulated by mostly two trends: one inspired by computer science notions of actors and agents and the other one by computational semantics; we focus on the later, following John Sowa's parallel between Existential Graphs and Discourse Representation Theory or more generally Dynamic Semantics.

Free dynamics and algebraic semantics
1977Adamek has recently given general criteria for the construction of a free X-dynamics. We specialize this result to the case in which the free dynamics is over the initial object, noting that the result, μ0:A X → A is an isomorphism. This result not only specializes to the theory of minimal fixed points, but provides a new method of constructing ...

Dynamic Pragmatics, Static Semantics
2018Semantic-pragmatic theorizing took a dynamic turn in the 1970s, but at the time the dynamics remained in the pragmatics and retained a more or less traditional static conception of compositional semantics. Later dynamic semantics built rules for context change into the semantics.

Abstract This chapter develops a sustained criticism of the dynamic treatment of modals and conditionals. It focuses on three problems. First, dynamic semantics makes a variety of peculiar predictions about the logic of natural language, which do not match reality. Second, dynamic semantics makes incorrect predictions about order effects,
