In this paper, I address the categorial status of quantifiers and similar expressions in German. Traditionally, they are assigned either of two classes: determiners and adjectives. I argue that German quantifiers in principle are ambiguous and can be realized alternatively as determiners or adjectives. The categorial status is mirrored by the declension of attributive adjectives following these...

In this paper knowledge representation and inference issues for rule-based systems are discussed. The paper deals with improving the logical calculus of Set Attributive Logic founding an expressive rule language XTT. Representation extensions are introduced, and practical inference rules provided. The original includes an extended state specification, as well as interpreter design. Examples of ...

Occupational therapy for adults with perceptual dysfunction secondary to diffuse acquired brain injury from trauma or anoxia often includes remedial retraining with treatment tasks, like construction of puzzles, to provide clients with practice in deficit perceptual skills. Therapists using this approach assume that adults with brain injury learn specific perceptual skills from retraining exerc...

The present review presents a series of concepts that may be useful in developing rehabilitative strategies to enhance recovery of posture and locomotion following spinal cord injury. First, the loss of supraspinal input results in a marked change in the functional efficacy of the remaining synapses and neurons of intraspinal and peripheral afferent (dorsal root ganglion) origin. Second, follow...

This paper provides a model theoretic semantics to feature terms augmented with set descriptions. We provide constraints to specify HPSG style set descriptions, fixed cardinality set descriptions, set-membership constraints, restricted universal role quantifications, set union, intersection, subset and disjointness. A sound, complete and terminating consistency checking procedure is provided to...
