The conception states that the aesthetic is a practice of reflecting on other human practices. Kant was the first to articulate this conception, but ...
متن کاملOn the Reflexivity of Point Sets
We introduce a new measure for planar point sets S that captures a combinatorial distance that S is from being a convex set: The reflexivity ρ(S) of S is given by the smallest number of reflex vertices in a simple polygonalization of S. We prove various combinatorial bounds and provide efficient algorithms to compute reflexivity, both exactly (in special cases) and approximately (in general). O...

Binding principles applied to Dutch reflexives are supplemented with optimality considerations and a general principle of linguistic economy to account for differences in reflexivization strategies of Dutch and English. Dutch SE-reflexives are optimally encoded coreference in contrast to the English ordinary bound pronouns they are translated to. Burzio's stated general dispreference for SE-ref...
متن کاملContexts, Biases, and Reflexivity

One of the gifts of Predelli’s contribution is that it presents a unifying theory dealing with seemingly various phenomena often relegated to the pragmatics dustbin. Thus, nicknames, slurs, answering machines/post-its, voca...
