Agreement and Head Movement: Clitics, Incorporation, and Defective Goals

Language and Equilibrium
In this work, Prashant Parikh offers a new account of meaning for natural language. He argues that equilibrium, or balance among multiple interacting forces, is a key attribute of language and meaning and shows how to derive the meaning of an utterance from first principles by modelling it as a system of interdependent games.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

Why Agree? Why Move?: Unifying Agreement-Based and Discourse-Configurational …
An argument that not only do movement and agreement occur in every language, they also work in tandem to imbue natural language with enormous expressive power. An unusual property of human language is the existence of movement operations. Modern syntactic theory from its inception has dealt with the puzzle of why movement should occur. In this monograph, Shigeru Miyagawa combines this question …

Metareasoning: Thinking about Thinking
This text offers a simple model of reasoning about reason as a framework for its discussions. Following this framework, the contributors consider meta-level control of computational activities, introspective monitoring, distributed meta-reasoning, and, putting all these aspects of meta- reasoning together.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

Gene regulation and metabolism : postgenomic computational approaches
As exciting as the new field of genomics is, it has not yet produced a basic conceptual change in biology. The fundamental problems remain: the origin of life, cell organization, the pathways of differentiation, aging, and the molecular and cellular capabilities of the brain. What has occurred is an explosion of molecular information obtained by genomic sequences, which will soon be followed by…

The generative lexicon
The Generative Lexicon presents a novel and exciting theory of lexical semantics that addresses the problem of the "multiplicity of word meaning"; that is, how we are able to give an infinite number of senses to words with finite means. The first formally elaborated theory of a generative approach to word meaning, it lays the foundation for an implemented computational treatment of word meaning…

Genetic programming 1996 : Proceedings of the First Annual Conference, July 2…
Genetic programming is a domain-independent method for automatic programming that evolves computer programs that solve, or approximately solve, problems. Starting with a primordial ooze of thousands of randomly created computer programs composed of functions and terminals appropriate to a problem, a population of programs is progressively evolved over many generations using the Darwinian princi…
