Natural Language Grammar can be viewed as a formal system in many aspects. The traditional way of presenting grammar to students as a set of morphosyntactic rules in order to speak a language correctly can be substituted profitably by formal models that explain the interfaces between morphology, syntax and semantics and even pragmatics. These models are based in most cases in logical models. Th...

Rich data gathered in experimental primatology in the last 40 years are beginning to benefit from analytical methods used in contemporary linguistics, especially in the area of semantics and pragmatics. These methods have started to clarify five questions: (i) what morphology and syntax, if any, do monkey calls have? (ii) what is the 'lexical meaning' of individual calls? (iii) how are the mean...

We believe that the pragmatics and understanding of formal logic and also declarative programming languages are sensible to the type of syntax used. Our goal is to study how to apply the new developments in the eld of diagrammatic reasoning to declarative programming languages. In this paper we summarize the work done up to now in a visual logic language developped at the IIIA. We also attempt ...

since any kind of training aims at educating professionals, this research tries to merge theoretical and practical bases of translation training and remove any obstacles in different educational programs existing in the fields of translation studies. translation training is not confined to language teaching, although mastering both source and target languages will make the translators more succ...
