In this paper, we recall the historical perspectives of the OrderedTriple Theory of Language (OTT) whose authors are Materna, Pala and Svoboda. The Ordered-Triple Theory, as the title suggests captures three fundamental components of a language system, i.e. syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and is fully comparable with similar linguistic theories. It became a starting point for further intercon...

This study was, first, intended to find the relationship between cultural intelligence and the use of expressions of gratitude by Iranian EFL learners. Second, it sought to determine whether there were any significant differe...

Combining ideas from Donald Davidson, Hans Reichenbach and Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), I will develop a constraint-based semantics for the Dutch tenses and temporal auxiliaries which is fully integrated in the HPSG framework. The semantics will be inspired to a large extent by DRT, but the syntax is squarely based on the lexicialist surface-oriented approach of HPSG, and so is the tr...

For example, an early version of the system operates as a question answerer for the domain of lunar geology. In that domain one is usually not concerned with the particular scientists who investig...

My recent and ongoing research is focused on the interpretation of referring expressions (e.g. she, Rosa, that woman, the woman we talked about yesterday) as a window on the semantics-pragmatics interface. Referring expressions have attracted a great deal of interest in fields concerned with linguistic meaning, including semantics, psycholinguistics, and the philosophy of language, because they...

There have been numerous studies on the linguistic properties of the BA construction in Mandarin Chinese and the semantic meanings of this construction. However, there have not been as adequate studies on the acquisition of the BA, especially by L2 Chinese learners. This study examines the acquisition of some linguistic properties of the BA construction by the nature of those properties: some a...
