Visual Components to Interpretation—Formal Approaches to Visible Meaning

open access: yesLanguage and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Visual components of communication interact with the core linguistic system at all levels and make an important contribution to the meaning of the utterance expressed.

Taking Risks, With and Without Probabilities

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 576-592, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Some hold that expected utility is too restrictive in the way it handles risk.

Unstructured Purity

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 685-697, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Purity is the principle that fundamental facts only have fundamental constituents. In recent years, it has played a significant (if sometimes implicit) role in metaphysical theorizing. A philosopher will argue that a fact [p]$[p]$ contains a derivative entity and cite Purity as a reason to deny that [p]$[p]$ is fundamental. I argue that recent

Model Sensitivities of Biomass‐Burning Aerosol Chemical Aging, Sulfate Formation, and Cloud Droplet Activation in the Southeastern Atlantic Using CESM and E3SM

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Biomass‐burning smoke drives large uncertainty in climate projections of the Earth's radiative balance. This is due to the chemical and physical evolution of smoke and its impact on clouds and radiation. Here we focus on the southeastern Atlantic region and its inflow of African biomass‐burning smoke during August 2017.

Do Linking‐Expression Substitutions Mitigate Deterministic Interpretations of Genetic Information?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 973-996, August 2026.
ABSTRACT It is a common concern that broader audiences interpret scientific information about the genetic correlates and causes of complex human traits in an overly deterministic manner. A frequently proposed way to address this issue is to carefully select the linking expressions used to describe gene–trait relationships when communicating genetic ...
