Cable theory was introduced for neurons by Wilfrid Rall more than half a century ago, and is widely used today for modeling the voltage and current flow in neuronal and dendritic structures. This theory was derived assuming that the extracellular medium is either inexistent, or modeled as a resistor. For modeling neurons in more realistic situations, where the extracellular medium has more comp...

A standard view is that idioms present problems for compositionality. The question of compositionality, however, should be posed for a semantics, not for individual phrases. The paper focuses on the idiom extension problem: Suppose in a given language a certain phrase acquires the status of an idiom. How can the syntax and semantics be extended to accommodate the idiom, while preserving desirab...
