Finnish Adverbial Nonce-Forms

Nonce Generators and the Nonce Reset Problem

A nonce is a cryptographic input value which must never repeat within a given context. Nonces are important for the security of many cryptographic building blocks, such as stream ciphers, block cipher modes of operation, and message authentication codes. Nonetheless, the correct generation of nonces is rarely discussed in the cryptographic literature. In this paper, we collect a number of nonce...

Spanish Adverbial Frozen Expressions

This paper presents an electronic dictionary of Spanish adverbial frozen expressions. It focuses on their formal description in view of natural language processing and presents an experiment on the automatic application of this data to real texts using finite-state techniques. The paper makes an assessment of the advantages and limitations of this method for the identification of these multiwor...

Computing adverbial quantifier domains

This paper describes a method for computing the domain of quantification of an adverbially quantified sentence. This method relies on the accommodation of presuppositions in the scope of a quantificational adverb and on the resolution of the domain in context. This paper also describes a computational system for processing such sentences based on this method.

Continuations and adverbial modifiers

We extend de Groote’s approach to natural language or Montague semantics with labels and combine it with Parsons event semantics. We argue that within this framework continuations allow one to deal with adverbs.
