In this paper, we construct a truth conditional semantics for generic sentences, which treats arbitrarily deep nestings of generic sentences. The resulting notion of logical entailment captures intuitively valid argument forms involving generics. A dynamic semantics is built on top of the truth conditional one, and the resulting inference notion captures nonmonotonic argument patterns familiar ...

Conditional sentences are difficult for EFL students to understand because of their complexity in both form and function. By analyzing the performances opinions among learners, pedagogical contribution may be beneficial teachers. The use, errors, perceptions Thai regarding conditional were explored this study. Instruments study included a chapter test, writing assignments, an online survey. Dat...

Expressions in Japanese with indeterminates such as "nani (what)" and "dare (who)" get interpretations very much like universal quantification or existential quantification when followed by conjunctive particle "mo" or disjunctive particle "ka". Focusing our attention on sequences of the form such as "nani-ka (something)", they generally get interpretations of "something ex...

Conditional sentences with multiple conditions or alternative cases can be confusing and are challenging to translate. Those in Leviticus 4–5 prime examples. Another challenge is that a “consistent” translation of the verb אָשַׁם ʼāšam produce unclear even nonsensical texts. Following an overview conditional constructions Biblical Hebrew, this paper presents analysis if-clauses Lev. view determini...

Grammar is important in language learning order to form communicative sentences or paragraphs. For school students, grammar means doing the analytical and terminological study of sentences. Conditional if, based on K13 syllabus, one materials that must be studied understood by both junior high students. Several factors hindering teaching process this material are students still do not have a vo...

A proposal concerning the status of the semantic relation between the consequent clause of a conditional sentence and the conditional sentence itself is made: this relation corresponds to the dual of presupposition, in the technical sense. It holds not only for conditional declaratives but also for conditional questions, imperatives and exclamatives. Technically this is possible because conditi...

This paper addresses a process in which we combined educational guidelines (EG) from heterogeneous sources in one set of coherent computable statements to support dynamically generated and precisely tailored patient education material. The Guideline Interchange Format (GLIF), predicate logic and decision tables were assessed. An extended formalism of GLIF was applied to break up composite sente...

We report the results of our classification-based machine translation model, built upon the framework of a recurrent neural network using gated recurrent units. Unlike other RNN models that attempt to maximize the overall conditional log probability of sentences against sentences, our model focuses a classification approach of estimating the conditional probability of the next word given the in...
