Discourse connectives enable discourse coherence relations to be studies empirically. This paper presents two experiments on the semantic similarity of discourse connectives. Subjects are found to agree significantly on the similarity of pairs of connectives, and their similarity judgements are related to the ability of the connectives to be used to paraphrase each other. Subjects’ similarity j...

Implicit discourse connectives and relations are distributed more widely in Chinese texts, when translating into English, such connectives are usually translated explicitly. Towards ChineseEnglish MT, in this paper we describe cross-lingual annotation and alignment of discourse connectives in a parallel corpus, describing related surveys and findings. We then conduct some evaluation experiments...

Abstract Connectives such as Tonk have posed a significant challenge to the inferentialist. It has been recently argued (Button 2016; Button and Walsh 2018) that classical semanticist faces an analogous problem due definability of “nasty connectives” under non-standard interpretations propositional vocabulary. In this paper, we defend from alleged problem.

In 2004, C. Sanza, with the purpose of legitimizing study \(n\times m\)-valued ?ukasiewicz algebras negation (or \(\mathbf{NS}_{n\times m}\)-algebras) introduced \(3 \times 3\)-valued negation. Despite various results obtained about m}\)-algebras, structure free for this variety has not been determined yet. She only a bound their cardinal number finite generators. note we describe finitely gene...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), a generalization of fuzzy sets, is characterized by an interval-valued membership function, an interval-valued non-membership function.The objective of this paper is to deal with criteria aggregation problems using IVIFSs where there exists a prioritization relationship over the criteria.Based on the ${L}$ukasiewicz triangular norm, we first p...
