Order effects in dynamic semantics
In their target article, Wang and Busemeyer (2013) discuss question order effects in terms of incompatible projectors on a Hilbert space. In a similar vein, Blutner recently presented an orthoalgebraic query language essentially relying on dynamic update semantics. Here, I shall comment on some interesting analogies between the different variants of dynamic semantics and generalized quantum the...
متن کاملFirst-order Theory Change Systems and Their Dynamic Semantics
Systems of rst-order theory change are motivated, developed, and shown to be strongly connected to revisable systems of dynamic semantics. Such systems are applicable in the analysis of dialogue contributions in a full account of information exchange. They remedy the following problem; \our approach to information change is eliminative rather than constructive. And we don't know yet how to do b...
متن کاملDenotational Semantics of Evaluation Order in Expressions with Side Effects
The presence of side effects in even a very simple language of expressions gives rise to a number of semantic questions. The issue of evaluation order becomes a crucial one and, unless a strict order is enforced, the language becomes non-deterministic. In this paper we study the semantics of such a language under a variety of possible evaluation strategies, from simpler to more complex, conclud...
متن کاملDynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach
Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
متن کاملCentering in Dynamic Semantics
Centering theory posits a discourse center, a distinguished discourse entity that is the topic of a discourse. A simplified version of this theory is developed in a Dynamic Semantics framework. In the resulting system, the mechanism of center shift allows a simple, elegant analysis of a variety of phenomena involving sloppy identity in ellipsis and “paycheck pronouns”.
