چکیده
In recent years, pronouns have become a white-hot interface between language and social political issues. “My are he/they” signals allegiance to one side in the culture wars, as does whatever.” But there is surprisingly little philosophical work at this interface; paper aims chart main questions argue for some answers, with hope of stimulating more research.

Grounded Pronoun Learning and Pronoun Reversal
An embodied language-learning system is presented that can learn the correct deictic meanings for the words “I” and “you.” The system uses contextual clues from already understood words and sensory information from its environment to determine the most likely grounding for a new word. The system also serves as a model for the phenomenon of pronoun reversal among congenitally blind children, as ...
متن کاملFault Tolerant Algorithms for Heat Transfer Problems1
With the emergence of new massively parallel systems in the High Performance Computing area allowing scientific simulations to run on thousands of processors, the mean time between failures of large machines is decreasing from several weeks to a few minutes. The ability of hardware and software components to handle these singular events called process failures is therefore getting increasingly ...
متن کاملPronoun borrowing
1. Introduction A recurring theme in theoretical discussions of language contact is the question of borrowability—specifically, whether there are any substantive constraints governing the kinds of lexicon and structure that can be borrowed. Nowadays historical linguists are less likely to propose absolute constraints than they used to be, because everyone knows at least a few examples of 'odd' ...
متن کاملPronoun processing
In this paper we discuss a computational cognitive model of children’s poor performance on pronoun interpretation (the so-called Delay of Principle B Effect, or DPBE). This cognitive model is based on a theoretical account that attributes the DPBE to children’s inability as hearers to also take into account the speaker’s perspective. The cognitive model predicts that child hearers are unable to...
متن کاملBaseline Models for Pronoun Prediction and Pronoun-Aware Translation
This paper presents baseline models for the cross-lingual pronoun prediction task and the pronoun-focused translation task at DiscoMT 2015. We present simple yet effective classifiers for the former and discuss the impact of various contextual features on the prediction performance. In the translation task we rely on the document-level decoder Docent and a cross-sentence target language-model o...
