Spacetimes with Semantics (II), Scaling of agency, semantics, and tenancy
نویسنده
چکیده
Using Promise Theory as a calculus, I review how to define agency in a scalable way, for the purpose of understanding semantic spacetimes. By following simple scaling rules, replacing individual agents with ‘super-agents’ (sub-spaces), it is shown how agency can be scaled both dynamically and semantically. The notion of occupancy and tenancy, or how space is used and filled in different ways, is also defined, showing how spacetime can be shared between independent parties, both by remote association and local encapsulation. I describe how to build up dynamic and semantic continuity, by joining discrete individual atoms and molecules of space into quasi-continuous lattices.

متن کاملApplication of Frame Semantics to Teaching Seeing and Hearing Vocabulary to Iranian EFL Learners
A term in one language rarely has an absolute synonymous meaning in the same language; besides, it rarely has an equivalent meaning in an L2. English synonyms of seeing and hearing are particularly grammatically and semantically different. Frame semantics is a good tool for discovering differences between synonymous words in L2 and differences between supposed L1 and L2 equivalents. Vocabulary ...
متن کاملDynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach
Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
متن کاملLexical Semantics and Selection of TAM in Bantu Languages: A Case of Semantic Classification of Kiswahili Verbs
The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...
متن کاملThe Domain of the semantics of ‘promise’ in the Holy Quran
Semantics is a part of linguistic by which it can be analyzed the meaning of the words and sentences of a text and identified the part of speech with regard to semantics. This is a descriptive-analytic research and it deals with studying the meaning of ‘promise’ in the Holy Quran based on principles of semantics with a collocation approach by library methodology. Also, by virtue of ...
