Comprehending compass directions

Interpretation models for non-standard compass directions

Comprehending ADTs*

We show how to generalize list comprehensions to work on abstract data types. First, we make comprehension notation automatically available for any data type that is specified as a constructor/destructor-pair (bialgebra). Second, we extend comprehensions to enable the use of different types in one comprehension and to allow to map between different types. Third, we refine the translation of com...

Comprehending queries

There are no compelling reasons why database-internal query representations have to be designated by operators. This text describes a world in which datatypes determine the comprehension of queries. In this world, a datatype is characterized by its algebra of value constructors. These algebras are principal. Query operators are secondary in the sense that they simply box (recursive) programs th...

The COMPASS future: COMPASS II

Up to now the COMPASS experiment [1] contributed with the muon beam to precise measurements of the nucleon longitudinal momentum structure. A more complete nucleon description beyond collinear approximation includes the quark intrinsic momentum distributions which are described by the Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and by Generalised Parton Distribution...

Comprehending anaphoric metaphors.

In this study we investigate the comprehension of various kinds of anaphoric metaphors in context. We describe an experiment that manipulated the metaphoricity of simple noun + verb + ending sentences by using either a metaphoric noun or a metaphoric verb or both. Our results show that metaphoric nouns affect sentence comprehension to a greater extent than do metaphoric verbs. Thus, even though...
