Some Copper(II)-Manganese(II) trinuclear complexes of Schiff bases derived from 2aminobenzaldehyde and diamines are reported and characterized based on their elemental analyses, conductivity studies, IR, UV-Visible, ESR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetric studies. The complexes are found to have the formula [Mn(CuL)2](CH3COO)2. The elemental analyses data confirms the formation of trinuclear c...

When new phenomena are discovered, the semanticist may account for them by enriching his formal framework, or by reducing them to the complex interaction of some of its existing components. The first option may be more exciting; but the second may be more explanatory. Potts provided some welcome excitement with his groundbreaking study of expressives (Potts, to appear). Can a more conservative ...

Abstract Maximize Presupposition! (MP), as originally proposed in Heim (Semantik: Ein internationales Handbuch der zeitgenössischen Forschung, pp. 487–535, 1991) and developed subsequent works, offers an account of the otherwise mysterious unassertability a variety sentences. At core MP is idea that speakers are urged to use sentence ψ over ϕ if contributes same new information , yet carries st...

According to the standard conception of ontological commitment, which goes back Quine, we are ontologically committed acknowledge those and only entities whose existence is a condition for truth our theories. Frege has sketched, in context his critique idealist interpretation scientific language, more complete approach according accept also successful communication science. He argued that must ...

We discuss the use of logic for natural language (NL) processing, both as an internal query language and as a programming tool. Some extensions of standard predicate calculus are motivated by the first of these roles. A logical system including these extensions is informally described. It incorporates semantic as well as syntactic NL features, and its semantics in a given interpretation (or dat...
