Temporal Propositions as Vague Predicates Russell-Wiener construction of time from events (Kamp 1979) is related to a notion of context given by a string of observations, the vagueness in which is brought out by grounding the observations in the real line. With this notion of context, the context dependency functions in Gaifman 2002 are adapted to interpret temporal propositions.

GRAZE

Affective Demonstratives and the Division of Pragmatic Labor into two separate pressures (“What is expressed simply is stereotypically identified” and “What’s said in an abnormal way isn’t normal”), and [7], [8], [9], and [10] seek to characterize the opposition in terms how form-meaning pairs are optimally chosen.

The Data Complexity of the Syllogistic Fragments of Englishficult, in terms of semantic (computational) complexity and data complexity (i.e., computational complexity w.r.t. the number of instances declared in a knowledge base), such reasoning problems are. In doing so, we pinpoint also those fragments for which the reasoning problems are tractable (in PTime) or intractable (NP-hard or coNP-hard).

Fulsome

Vagueness Is Rational under Uncertaintyese are important, and we will have more to say about some of them, but we also seek to refocus the analysis of vagueness, moving away from consideration of abstract philosophical problems, and towards consideration of the problems faced by ordinary language users.

捏造

Meaning of ‘Now’ and Other Temporal Location Adverbst requires an eventuality described by an aspectual phrase to hold throughout a salient event that serves as a the ‘current perspective.’ The proposed meaning is compatible with both the past and present tenses and it has the same semantic type and uses the same ingredients as other temporal location adverbs.

Local and Global Implicatures in ,-Question Disjunctions, which is responsible for the computation of implicatures at different scope sites. Importantly, the licensing of the PS property of .-question disjunctions cannot be reduced to the licensing of a lexical property of . but also depends on the semantics of the disjoined questions.

TERRA

Restricted Quantification over Tastess different, contextually possible, taste measures (Kennedy, 1999). Phrases like . restrict the set of completions to those with taste measures consistent with the speaker’s taste. Faultless disagreement naturally follows assuming speakers accommodate or reject implicit restrictions of this sort (Lewis, 1979).
