Utterances and Their Meanings
Meanings are constructed situationally by the participants in interaction, as they construe intent in each other’s uttered words. A well-known story (said to be a favorite of both Vygotsky and Bakhtin) tells of a group of sailors having a nuanced exchange by repeating the same expletive to each other, but with a different intonation and timing at each turn. This polysemousness of words is equal...
متن کاملClarifying Utterances
The paper argues for the importance of utterances (as opposed to \sen-tences in context") as basic units in dialogue. The main case study is clar-iication: a characterization is provided within KOS, a recently developed synthesis of situation semantics and dialogue games, of the clariications that can follow up on an utterance. This involves outlining: (a) a theory of understanding for dialogue...
متن کاملClassifying Predicates and Languages
The present paper studies a particular collection of classi cation problems, i.e., the classi cation of recursive predicates and languages, for arriving at a deeper understanding of what classi cation really is. In particular, the classi cation of predicates and languages is compared with the classi cation of arbitrary recursive functions and with their learnability. The investigation undertake...
متن کاملNormative Predicates and Vagueness
Almost every theory of vagueness shares at least one feature: it uses, and in most cases heavily relies on, some kind of normative predicate (or predicates) in its metalanguage. Metalinguistic normative predicates are discussed chiefly by supervaluationists and other defenders of higher-order vagueness. According to this group of theorists, the existence of higher-order vagueness depends on and...
متن کاملConvex Predicates and Induction
Gardenfors [3] proposed convexity as a non-logical criterion for predicates that are amenable to induction. Some well-known paradoxes appear to be resolvable using this criterion. In this paper we show that the convexity criterion subsumes classical mathematical induction if a transitivity assumption is made. This provides independent evidence for the viability of the criterion since classical ...
