In this study, storytelling was surveyed with regard to the impact that it might haveon student-teacher interactional patterns. For this aim, the researchers utilized anintact class with ten young students in a language institute in a north eastern part ofthe country. Four sessions of the class were transcribed after a full observationalprotocol. Two groups of Interactional patterns on student-...

Double R Grammar is a linguistic theory of the grammatical encoding and integration of referential and relational meaning in English. Double R Grammar is fundamentally a Cognitive Linguistic theory (Langacker, 1987, 1991; Lakoff, 1988; Talmy, 2003) and the use of the term “grammar” encompasses both meaning and structure as it does in Cognitive Grammar (also known as Cognitive Semantics). Gramma...

this study investigates the relationship between meaningfulness of life and hope, happiness, depression and life satisfaction. participants consist of 382 women who work in schools and other educational organizations in shiraz. the techniques used include life regard index (lri), depression- happiness scale (dhs), satisfaction with life scale (swls), and adults dispositional hope scale (adhs). ...

A package mathsem for pdf-LTEX implements a way to provide semantic meaning to symbols, without adding a large syntactical burden to the specification of a mathematical expression. It uses a concept of ‘active comment’, allowing the ‘%’ character at the beginning of a new line to become an active token under highly-controlled circumstances. With a strictly defined syntax, words to express the s...

(ABSTRACT) This dissertation investigates algorithmic techniques for temporal process discovery in many domains. Many different formalisms have been proposed for modeling temporal processes such as motifs, dynamic Bayesian networks and partial orders, but the direct inference of such models from data has been computationally intensive or even intractable. In this work, we propose the mining of ...

Entry of reovirus virions has been well studied in several tissue culture systems. After attachment to junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A), virions undergo clathrin-mediated endocytosis followed by proteolytic disassembly of the capsid and penetration to the cytoplasm. However, during in vivo infection of the intestinal tract, and likely in the tumor microenvironment, capsid proteolysis (unc...

This paper presents ZOMBILINGO, a Game With A Purpose (GWAP) that allows for the dependency syntax annotation of French corpora. The created resource is freely available on the game Web site. Mots-clés : jeux ayant un but, complexité, annotation, syntaxe en dépendances.

Semantic interpretation involves the process of ‘translating’ natural language to a representation of its meaning. It could be understood as the task of mapping syntax to semantics, assuming that the syntactic relationships in an utterance correspond to functional relationships in the meaning representation. Relevant work in this area often uses techniques from machine translation and machine l...

This paper presents and motivates a new philosophical and logical approach to truth and semantic paradox. It begins from an inferentialist, and particularly bilateralist, theory of meaning—one which takes meaning to be constituted by assertibility and deniability conditions—and shows how the usual multiple-conclusion sequent calculus for classical logic can be given an inferentialist motivation...
