Within linguistics, the dominant truth-conditional approach to semantics belongs to the Tarskian, model-theoretic tradition. Theories in this tradition offer an abstract, mathematical description of the truth conditions of natural language expressions in terms of their correspondence with the world. This thesis takes issue with existing modeltheoretic accounts of quantification on the basis tha...

This article probes the connections between the metaphysics of meaning and the investigation of human communication. It first argues that contemporary philosophy of mind has inherited most of its metaphysical questions from Brentano’s puzzling definition of intentionality. Then it examines how intentionality came to occupy the forefront of 40 pragmatics in three steps. (1) By investigating spee...

We describe novel methods to automatically augment content into video highlights detected from soccer and tennis video. First, we extract generic and domain-specific features from the video to isolate key audio-visual events that we have empirically found to correlate well with the ground-truth highlights. Next, based on a set of heuristics-driven rules to minimize view disruption, spatial regi...

It has been often argued that parentheticals, discourse adverbials and certain parts of speech like interjections do not contribute to the truth conditional content of the assertions of which they are part. In this paper I argue that many of these constructions do contribute a truth conditional content, and I propose a semantics for parentheticals and discourse adverbials that treats these cons...

while referring to professor horngrens approaches including: absolute truth, conditional truth costly truth and behavioral approaches in management accounting. the author also reviews the historical developments of this branch of knowledge in accounting during 15 to 20 centuries, and considers the roles of scientists in different fields.

in this article, the author deals with the critical study of rorty and gadamer's doctrines on truth through analyzing its undesirable epistemological and political consequences. rorty denies truth and believes that it is merely the indicator of sentences specification. but gadamer does not deny truth and believes it is as event of appearance which flourishes from within the dialogue and ma...
