Abstract I argue against the view that metalinguistic usage is a form of conversational implicature. That view, suggested by Thomasson (Anal Philos 57(4):1-28, 2016) and Belleri (Philos Stud 174(9):2211–2226, 2017), has been most recently fleshed out Mankowitz (Synthese 199:5603–5622, 2021). provide two types criticism to implicature view. From an empirical point differs in key respects from st...

This study addresses the impact of 2 types of written corrective feedback (WCF) on the acquisition of the third person singular -s in English. The study followed a quasi-experimental design: 2 experimental groups and 1 control group that included 57 preservice teachers from a Chilean university. The experimental groups underwent a treatment based on the provision of direct metalinguistic feedba...

This paper presents the application of automatic analysis (of statistical and symbolic nature) for the detection and processing of metalanguage in highly technical texts from various domains. The selective metalinguistic information extraction performed by the MOP system allows compilation of non-conventional lexicons to aid domain-restricted NLP.

Naive program transformations can have surprising e ects due to the interaction between introduced identi er references and previously existing identi er bindings, or between introduced bindings and previously existing references. These interactions can result in the inadvertent binding, or capturing, of identi ers. A further complication results from the fact that the transformed program may h...

We present a model for developing rule-based process servers with extensible syntax and semantics. New process enactment directives can be added to the syntax of the process modeling language, in which the process designer may specify specialized behavior for particular tasks or task segments. The process engine is peppered with callbacks to instance-specific code in order to implement any new ...
