Winged horses, rascals and discourse referents
Theoria, EarlyView.Abstract This paper discusses some remarks Kaplan made in ‘Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice’ concerning empty names. I show how his objections to a particular view involving descriptions derived from Ramsification can be avoided by a nearby alternative framed in terms of discourse reference.

Using triangulation to identify word senses
Word sense disambiguation is the task of determining which sense of a word is intended from its context. Previous methods have found the lack of training data and the restrictiveness of dictionaries' choices of senses to be major stumbling blocks.

Extending the Architecture of Language From a Multimodal Perspective
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Language is inherently multimodal. In spoken languages, combined spoken and visual signals (e.g., co‐speech gestures) are an integral part of linguistic structure and language representation. This requires an extension of the parallel architecture, which needs to include the visual signals concomitant to speech. We present the evidence for the

Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...

Metaphors and the Invention of Writing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another.

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.
