Covert distributivity in algebraic event semantics
This is the first in a pair of papers that aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the semantic phenomenon of distributivity in natural language. This paper investigates and formalizes different sources of covert distributivity. Apart from lexical distributivity effects, which are modeled by meaning postulates, phrasal distributivity is captured via two covert operators: (i) a D operator dis...
متن کاملWeak Distributivity implying Distributivity
Let B be a complete Boolean algebra. We show that if λ is an infinite cardinal and B is weakly (λ, ω)-distributive, then B is (λ, 2)-distributive. Using a similar argument, we show that if κ is a weakly compact cardinal such that B is weakly (2, κ)distributive and B is (α, 2)-distributive for each α < κ, then B is (κ, 2)-distributive.

متن کاملAn Event-Based Semantics for Transactions
In this paper we investigate the notion of transaction in object-oriented speciication. Transactions are a suitable concept to cover diierent aspects that arise in a variety of contexts. For example, in reenement theory a transaction may be understood as the reenement of actions, in database theory it may be understood as an abstraction from sequences of statements , or in business process mode...
متن کاملAn Event Based Semantics of P Systems
Membrane systems have many similarities with classical concurrency models. In particular notions like parallelism, causality and concurrency seem to belong to membrane computing, though they are not yet regarded as central or cornerstone notions. Recently the interest in comparing membrane systems and other models for concurrency has grown. In this paper we propose a translation of membrane sys...
