Papers from the XIIth Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages
This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the XII Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), held in April 1982 at Penn State University. These papers reflect the general state of the art in Romance Linguistics. Some of the studies are theoretical papers that seek to establish general principles based on the analysis of a Romance language, others apply the principles of a particular theory to the solution of a problem in some Romance language, or provide data-oriented descriptions of linguistic phenomena in Romance languages.
The Reality of the Unobservable
The debate on realism in physics is usually focused on the reality of unobservable entities admitted in physical theories. This reality has been often denied (e.g., by Bas van Fraassen). The present book shows that observability is a very complex notion that does not really have direct implications on ontological issues related to the existence of the non-observable entities. This is shown through historical, philosophical and scientific considerations presented in the different parts of the book. Emphasis is also given to the role of experiments, measurement procedures and computer-analyzed data as interface between the theoretical and experimental cultures.
Alternative Logics. Do Sciences Need Them?
Initially proposed as rivals of classical logic, alternative logics have become increasingly important in sciences such as quantum physics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. The contributions collected here address the question whether the usage of logic in the sciences, especially in modern physics, requires a deviation from classical mathematical logic. The articles in the first part of the book set the scene by describing the context and the dilemma when applying logic in science. In Part II the authors offer several logics that deviate in different ways. The twelve papers in Part III investigate in detail specific aspects such as quantum logic, quantum computation, computer-science considerations, praxic logic, and quantum probability. The monograph provides a succinct picture of recent research in alternative logics as they have been developed for applications in the sciences.

Epistemic Modalities and Evidentiality in Cross-Linguistic Perspective
This volume explores phenomena which come under the heading of epistemic modalities and evidentiality in more or less well-known languages (Germanic, Romance, Balto-Slavic, Hungarian, Tibetan, Lakandon and Yucatec Maya, Arwak-Chibchan Kogi and Ika). It reveals cross-linguistic variations in the structuring of these vast fields of enquiry and clearly demonstrates the relevance and interplay of multiple factors involved in the analysis of these two conceptual domains. Although the contributions present diverging descriptive traditions, they are nonetheless within the broad domain of functional-typological linguistics and give access to distinct yet comparable approaches. They all converge arou...
Deductive Systems in Traditional and Modern Logic
The book provides a contemporary view on different aspects of the deductive systems in various types of logics including term logics, propositional logics, logics of refutation, non-Fregean logics, higher order logics and arithmetic.
Advances in Natural Language Processing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Natural Language Processing, GoTAL 2008, Gothenburg, Sweden, August 2008. The 44 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 107 submissions. The papers address all current issues in computational linguistics and monolingual and multilingual intelligent language processing - theory, methods and applications.
Information temporelle, procédures et ordre discursif
Ce numéro des Cahiers Chronos est une sélection d'articles présentés lors du Colloque Chronos 6 tenu à l'Université de Genève en 2004 (20-22 septembre, Syntaxe, sémantique et pragmatique du temps, de la modalité et de l'aspect). Le thème de ce numéro a permis de regrouper des articles couvrant une grande variété d'orientations théoriques tout en partageant des préoccupations théoriques et empiriques communes. Le thème général du numéro, Information temporelle, procédures et ordre discursif, regroupe des articles portant sur des questions de référence temporelle, de description des informations procédurales des marques temporelles, de leurs effets dans le discours et de connecteurs (avant que, et, puis, alors, parce que) ou d'opérateur temporels (déjà). Parmi les questions centrales que ce livre aborde se trouvent: i) la contribution des expressions temporelles à l'interprétation du discours en tant que séquence organisée d'énoncés, ii) les mécanismes d'interprétation qu'ils déclenchent et iii) la formalisation la plus adéquate pour en rendre compte.
