Slavery and captivity in Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca's 1542 La Relación

open access: yesCorpus: Archivos Virtuales de la Alteridad Americana, 2016
Based on Cabeza de Vaca’s La Relación 1542 manuscript, this paper analyzes how, during his castaway period, his discourse constructs the nature of his captivity in contrast to that of the African slave.

Computationally Efficient and Robust BIC-Based Speaker Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
An algorithm for automatic speaker segmentation based on the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is presented. BIC tests are not performed for every window shift, as previously, but when a speaker change is most probable to occur.

Simulating optional infinitive errors in child speech through the omission of sentence-internal elements. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A new version of the MOSAIC model of syntax acquisition is presented. The modifications to the model aim to address two weaknesses in its earlier simulations of the Optional Infinitive phenomenon: an over-reliance on questions in the input as the source ...

Rich Situated Attitudes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We outline a novel theory of natural language meaning, Rich Situated Semantics [RSS], on which the content of sentential utterances is semantically rich and informationally situated.

Optoelectronic Control of Redox Dynamics in POM Memristors for Noise‐Resilient Speech and Hardware‐Level Motion Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic control of redox‐active polyoxometalate clusters in polymer matrices yields hybrid memristors with switchable volatile and non‐volatile modes, enabling reservoir‐type in‐sensor optical preprocessing and stable multilevel synapses for multimodal neuromorphic computing, including noise‐tolerant audiovisual keyword recognition and hardware ...

Utterance and Context

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper we explain two approaches to context-sensitive utterances, focussing on temporal indexicals and tense. The first approach is David Kaplan’s account in “On the Logic of Demonstratives” (1979) and “Demonstratives” (1989). The second is the reflexive-referential approach used by Korta and Perry in Critical Pragmatics (2011). We argue for the

Can there ever be a theory of utterance interpretation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper, I tackle what appears to be a rather simple question: can there ever be a theory of utterance interpretation? It will be contended that a theory of utterance interpretation is not beyond the intellectual grasp of present-day pragmatists so

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

On the Utility of Conjoint and Compositional Frames and Utterance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper reports the results of a series of connectionist simulations aimed at establishing the value of different types of contexts as predictors of the grammatical categories of words.

A Tac1‐Expressing Brainstem Pathway Underlies the Pathogenesis of Trigeminal Neuralgia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A critical TG‐Sp5CTac1‐PBNTac1 pathway drives trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP). Tac1‐expressing parabrachial nucleus (PBNTac1) neurons exhibit heightened responses to innocuous stimuli in TNP, and chemogenetic inhibition of these neurons effectively prevents TNP development.
