This paper presents a version of simple type theory called Q uqe 0 that is based on Q0, the elegant formulation of Church’s type theory created and extensively studied by Peter B. Andrews. Q uqe 0 directly formalizes the traditional approach to undefinedness in which undefined expressions are treated as legitimate, nondenoting expressions that can be components of meaningful statements. Q uqe 0...

The question of covert text recycling from previous publications is discussed. It is argued that, consistent with current guidance, authors may be allowed to covertly recycle a limited amount of their previously published material but mainly at the phrase level and only when it is composed of very complex descriptions laden with technical terms for which there are no suitable substitutes. Autho...

Le quotation above expresses a common, if not dominant, view of the genesis of inflationary pressure in an economy. The story goes something like this: High GDP growth eventually places excessive strain on a nation's resources. This strain can become particularly acute in labor markets, where it is manifested as low unemployment. The labor market tightness associated with this low unemployment ...

Hollywood stunt people, who didn't wear their seat-belts, or who botchErl their suicide attempts). This doesn't bother Wreen. In response to my having pointed out that "at most Wreen has made a case for the ascription of basic rights to those human non-persons whose condition is no fault of their own" (p. 126). (The first two words are ernmasizErl because they were inadvertently omitted from Wr...

L IKE ALL GREAT HOUSES, the magnificent edifice of psychological constructs, erected by the master-architect Sigmund Freud has a resident ghost. This ghost is the spirit of verification. The imposing structure of psychoanalytic concepts has, of course, considerable internal consistency and coherence. This, otherwise felicitous circumstance however, further complicates the situation by frequentl...

Algorithms like those for differentiating functional expressions manipulate the syntactic structure of mathematical expressions in a mathematically meaningful way. A formalization of such an algorithm should include a specification of its computational behavior, a specification of its mathematical meaning, and a mechanism for applying the algorithm to actual expressions. Achieving these goals r...
