We would like to argue for a uni ed formal theory to represent and allow automated reasoning about both the semantic and the pragmatic aspects of conversational context, particularly the common ground between conversational participants. Central to this theory is the hypothesis that speech act occurrences are recorded in the common ground and can serve as the basis for a model of language proce...

We show here that polR growth in mouse L-929 cells was rescued by vaccinia virus coinfection and ...
