Parsing with Situation Semantics
Nordic Journal of Linguistics, 1991This paper integrates several related lines of research in an implemented model. Its main aim is to show how principles of situation semantics concerning meanings, constraints and the preferred ontology can be represented and mapped onto expressions of natural language in a straightforward way.

A Semantic Approach for Learning Situation Detection
2014 IEEE 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2014A number of ubiquitous systems are considering how to deal with situation-awareness to act in a personalized manner according to user's needs. Indeed, most of the research efforts in situation-awareness are generally focused on the implementation of common characteristics, differing basically on the relevant context observed and how this contextual ...

Situation semantics attempts to provide systematic and philosophically coherent accounts of the meanings of various constructions that philosophers and linguists find important. It is based on the old idea that sentences stand for facts or something like them.

Situation Semantics, Time, and Descriptive Indexicals
, 2014 I argue that descriptive uses of indexicals pose a challenge to the situation semantics of Kratzer and Berman. Many of the proposed methods of analysis for descriptive indexicals are based on the situation semantics of Kratzer as supplemented by Berman’s notion of a minimal situation.

Generalized Quantification in Situation Semantics
2002This paper extends the grammar presented in Loukanova (2002, this volume) to cover NL expressions that contain multiple quantificational NPs, restrictive relative clauses, and intensional verbs. The grammar rules use a quantificational operator, which moves quantifier representations from the storage to the basis.

On the Representation of Speech Acts in Situation Semantics
1991In this paper a method of representing speech acts is outlined which is suitable for implementation in a natural language consulting system. Speech acts are classified according to the discourse situation in which they arise and the change in the discourse situation they incur. The approach is formulated in a Situation Semantics framework.

Situation Calculus Semantics for Actual Causality
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2018The definitions of actual cause given by Pearl and Halpern (HP) in the framework of causal models provided vital computational insight into an old philosophical problem but by no means resolved it. One source of concern is the lack of objective criteria for selecting possible worlds to be admitted into the counterfactual analysis ...

Quantification and Intensionality in Situation Semantics
2002In this paper we present a type-driven interpretation approach to semantic theory. We will introduce a formalization of the notion of the speaker's references in a context, and a semantical storage mechanism for resolving the quantificational and de re/de dicto scope ambiguities. In Montague Grammar (PTQ) all verbs are initially treated as intensional,
