tz designated as pragmatic releance, represent two generative principles of order in indiactor everyday world. VandenBos GR U.

logical form or covert syntax is a syntactic level introduced in recent generative approaches. using the ideas of first-order predicate logic, it interprets the strings whose elements cannot move in s–structure, because an element moves if it does not acquire its necessary scope. but unlike the predicate logic, logical form is based on syntactic principles and rules. therefore, logical form is ...

Learning Objects (LOs) play a key role for supporting eLearning. In general, however, the development of LOs remains a vague issue, because there is still no clearly defined and widely adopted LO specification and development methodology. We combined two technological paradigms (feature diagrams (FDs) and generative techniques) into a coherent methodology to enhance reusability and productivity...

this article studies the generative grammar approach and some other theories driven from it to lexicon and lexical entries. generative grammar is known as a syntax-based theory, so some aspects of language which have been studied in this theory may have been ignored in other theories. this article shows that more attention has been given to lexicon and lexical entries since 50s. we may claim th...

This paper briefly compares two research traditions: empiricism and generative mechanisms. Moreover, it briefly recalls the arguments of empiricist epistemology and its philosophical justification, whose paradigmatic expression is positivism. The paper then examines the criticisms that have been addressed against this trend and sets out the principles of the generative mechanisms strategy in so...

In this paper we argue that one of the major contributions of critical theory to HCI is a shift in principles that organize the selection of problems, methods, and phenomena that are considered by researchers and designers. We take this position to propose that a key area of research that is largely neglected in HCI is a systematic study of principles. More specifically we know little about the...
