A relevance theoretic approach to relevance
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper outlines a model of what a theory of mental representations (TMR) for reference resolution would be. Such a theory would be a specification of relevance theory on the specific point of referents attribution. Mental representations (MR) are conceived as a kind of hinge between referring expressions on the one hand and objects in the world on the other hand. The introduction defines reference and briefly describes the problem. The 2nd § describes the basics of TMR, while the 3rd § introduces the notion of differenciation as a condition for the construction of a MR. The 4th § proposes the notion of domain of reference (DR) as an alternative to Ariel’s notion of accessibility. The 5th § shows how events and their consequences can be represented in TMR. The 6th paragraph shows how TMR can be used in reference resolution. The 7th paragraph is a conclusion, in which the proximity and compatiblity between TMR outlined here and relevance theory are pointed out.

متن کاملTranslation as Secondary Communication. the Relevance Theory Perspective of Ernst-august Gutt
Ernst-August Gutt started one of the greatest translation debates of the past ten years when he suggested that relevance theory holds the key to providing a unified account of translation. The bulk of the debate has been between practitioners of functional equivalence and advocates of a relevance theoretic approach to translation. However, opponents of the relevance theoretic approach have wide...
متن کاملRecent approaches to bridging: Truth, coherence, relevance
This paper considers three recent approaches to bridging reference, based on notions of truth, coherence and relevance, and argues that a relevance-based approach to bridging is preferable on both descriptive and explanatory grounds. Using questionnaire results from Matsui 1995, it compares the predictions of the relevance-theoretic account with several versions of truth-based and coherence-bas...

Parkinson?¦s disease (PD) is a devastating and an intricate complex neurological disorder that results from the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in Substantia nigra that controls movement. The pathological hallmark of PD is the formation of insoluble protein aggregates known as lewey bodies. Alpha-synuclein is the major constituent of these fibrillar structures. Alpha-synuclein a 140 ami...
متن کاملA graphic-theoretic model for incremental relevance feedback in image retrieval
Many traditional relevance feedback approaches for CBIR can only achieve limited short-term performance improvement without benefiting long-term performance. To remedy this limitation, we propose a graphic-theoretic model for incremental relevance feedback in image retrieval. Firstly, a two-layered graph model is introduced that describes the correlations between images. A learning strategy is ...
