A Compositional Semantics for Directional Modifiers - Locative Case Reopened
This paper pre,'Jents a model-theoretic semantics for directional modifiers in English. The semantic theory presupposed for the analysis is that of Montague Grammar (cf. Montague 1970, 1973) which makes it possible to develop a strongly compositional treatment of directional modifiers, Such a treatment has significant computational advantages over case-based treatments of directional modifiers ...
متن کاملTowards a Compositional Semantics for English Intonation
Brown, Currie and Kenworthy 1980 and Brown 1983 provided an important corrective to the discussion of information structure of that time by reasserting the central role of intonation in its expression in English. Bolinger (1958, 1961) and Halliday (1963, 1967a,b) had laid the foundation of a discourse semantics for tunes, but their insights had largely neen ignored in subsequent work on informa...
متن کاملIntegrative Priming of Compositional and Locative Relations
Integrative priming refers to the facilitated recognition of a target word (bench) as a real word following a prime (park). Prior integrative priming studies have used a wide variety of integrative relations including temporal (summer rain), topical (travel book), locative (forest river), and compositional (peach pie) relations. Yet differences in the types of integrative relations may yield di...
متن کاملA Layered Semantics for Utterance Modifiers *
Bach (1999) classifies these adverbials as utterance modifiers, a term that gets right to the heart of their contribution. One also finds ‘second-order speech act’ (Bach 1999), ‘pragmatic adverb’ (Bellert 1977), and ‘illocutionary adverbial’ (Bach and Harnish 1979). The labels all recognize, in various ways, that these linguistic items permit speakers to qualify, restrict, and modify their rela...
متن کاملA Compositional Semantics for Stochastic Reo Connectors
In this paper we present a compositional semantics for the channel-based coordination language Reo which enables the analysis of quality of service (QoS) properties of service compositions. For this purpose, we annotate Reo channels with stochastic delay rates and explicitly model data-arrival rates at the boundary of a connector, to capture its interaction with the services that comprise its e...
