Vagueness and Domain Restriction∗
This paper develops an idea of saving ordinary uses of vague predicates from the Sorites by means of domain restriction. A tolerance level for a predicate, along a dimension, is a difference with respect to which the predicate is semantically insensitive. A central gap for the predicate+dimension in a domain is a segment of an associated scale, larger than this difference, where no object in th...
متن کاملTopic tracking using subject templates
Topic tracking, which starts from a few sample stories and finds all subsequent stories that discuss the same topic, is a new challenge for the text categorization task and makes a significant contribution to the accessibility of information, such as archives of news, e-mails, and historical newspapers. Much previous research on topic tracking uses machine learning techniques. However, the smal...
متن کاملTonosyntax and reference restriction in Dogon NPs
Lexical tone melodies of words and word strings in Dogon languages are overridden by syntactically conditioned word-level or broader tone overlays. In Ben Tey and other Dogon languages, certain NP-internal elements—possessors, adjectives, relative clauses, demonstratives—are controllers , imposing overlays such as {L} and {HL} on adjacent words or word strings (the targets). Other elements (non...
متن کاملOn Quantifier Domain Restriction
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the space of possible analyses of the phenomenon of quantifier domain restriction, together with a set of considerations which militate against all but our own proposal. Among the many accounts we consider and reject are the ‘explicit’ approach to quantifier domain restriction discussed, for example, by Stephen Neale, and the pragmatic approac...
متن کاملLearning subject drift for topic tracking
For topic tracking where data is collected over an extended period of time, the discussion of a topic, i.e. the in a story changes over time. This paper focuses on subject drift and presents a method for topic tracking on broadcast news stories to handle subject drift. The basic idea is to automatically extract the optimal positive training data of the target topic so as to include only the dat...
