This paper discusses recognizing and producing contradictions. After illustrating the phenomena of contradiction, the paper presents conceptual classes of contradiction and gives an overview of the how they can be recognized. The next part discusses the construction of contradictions, in particular with respect to contradicting historic events. The object of this paper is to examine the computa...

Dialetheism is the view according to which some contradictions (i.e., statements of the form, A and not-A) are true. In this paper, I discuss three strategies to block dialetheism: (i) Contradictions cannot be true because some theories of truth preclude them from emerging. (ii) Contradictions cannot be true because we can’t see what is like to perceive them. Although that doesn’t undercut the ...

This paper describes how activity theory (AT) and its principle of contradictions may be relied on to guide research in educational technology. The paper begins with a theoretical overview of AT and of its principle of contradictions. It follows with a synthesis of studies that have used AT as a lens to study information and communication technologies (ICTs) in educational contexts. We analyse ...

Contradiction Analysis is a relatively new multidisciplinary and complex area with the main goal of identifying contradictory pieces of text. It can be addressed from the perspectives of different research areas such as Natural Language Processing, Opinion Mining, Information Retrieval, and Information Extraction. This paper focuses on the problem of detecting sentiment-based contradictions whi...

X k=1 z 0k A0;k(z M)Mi01(z M): (41) This formula makes transparent exactly what happens in a recursive computation of the correlation functions. At every stage i, we have the Z-transform at points M 0i n of the appropriate function. In going to the (i + 1)st stage, the rst term Mi01(z M) ensures that values at the previous stage are retained at the even points, while the second term interpolate...

The law of one price (hereafter LoP) is one of the most basic laws of economics and yet it is a law observed in the breach. That a given commodity can have only one price, except for the briefest of disequilbrium transitions, seems to be almost an axiom. Economists are bent on considering their subject to be empirically based, yet the most elementary of laws seems to defy empirical confirmation...
