Referential Dependencies Between Conflicting Attitudes

Referential Dependencies Between Conflicting Attitudes

A number of puzzles about propositional attitudes in semantics and philosophy revolve around apparent referential dependencies between different attitudes within a single agent's mental state. In a series of papers, Hans Kamp (2003… 2015) offers a general framework for describing such interconnected attitude complexes, building on DRT and dynamic semantics. I demonstrate that Kamp's proposal ca...

Rationalism and the Treatment of Referential Dependencies

This paper describes what we take to be the correct perspective on the 'empiricist' vs 'rationalist' debate which is the dominant theme of this workshop, and describes a technique for dealing with the translation problems that arise where languages differ in the conditions they impose, and the strategies they employ for expressing different kinds of referential or anaphoric dependence.

Enforcing Inclusion Dependencies and Referential Integrity

The general architecture of a monitor that enforces inclusion dependencies and referential integrity is described. The monitor traces the operations a user submits in a session and can either modify an operation or propagate it, depending on additional information the database designer provided at design time. Propagation is implemented by executing new operations when the session terminates, u...

Indexing And A Referential Dependencies Within Binding Theory: Computational Framework

This work is concerned with the development of instruments for GB parsing. An alternative to the well known indexation system of (Chomsky, 1981) will be proposed and then used to formalize the view of Binding Theory in terms of the generation of constraints on the referential properties of the NPs of a sentence. Finally the problems of verification and satisfiability of BT will be addressed wit...

Transformations between Self-Referential Sets
