A conversational implicature is an inference that consists of attributing to a speaker an implicit meaning that goes beyond the explicit linguistic meaning of an utterance. This paper experimentally investigates scalar implicature, a paradigmatic case of implicature in which a speaker's use of a term like Some indicates that the speaker had reasons not to use a more informative term from the sa...

A Decision Procedure for Optimal Polyhedron Partitioning

In two dimensions, the problem has the intriguing property of being solvable in polynomial time, yet of being NP-hard, if ho/es are allowed into the polygons [6]. In three dimensions, because of the possibly large size of the output, the problem has a quadra‘tic lower bound on its complexity [2]; furthermore it has been shown to be NP-hard [6]. It is unknown, however, whether the problem is in ...

Functionalists about consciousness identify consciousness with a role; physicalists identify consciousness with an implementer of that role. The global workspace theory of consciousness ®ts the functionalist perspective, but the physicalist sees consciousness as a biological phenomenon that implements global accessibility. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
