2. 1. On Compositionality

   Author : Martin Jönsson; Teoretisk filosofi; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Natural Language Semantics; Linguistic Creativity; Compositionality; Productivity; Systematicity; Jerry Fodor; Semantic Theories; Meaning; Paul Horwich; Semantic Principles; Peter Pagin;

   Abstract : The goal of inquiry in this essay is to ascertain to what extent the Principle of Compositionality – the thesis that the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meaning of its parts and its mode of composition – can be justifiably imposed as a constraint on semantic theories, and thereby provide information about what meanings are. Apart from the introduction (Chapter One) and the concluding chapter (Chapter Seven) the thesis is divided into five chapters addressing different questions pertaining to the overarching goal of inquiry.

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Semantic value; assertoric content; compositionality; tense; Kaplan; Lewis; communication; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

   Abstract : A remarkable thing about natural language is that we can use it to share our beliefs and thoughts about the world with other speakers of our language. In cases of successful communication, beliefs seem to be transferred from speakers to hearers by means of the hearer recovering the contents of the speaker’s utterances. READ MORE

5. 3. Learning Idiomaticity : A Corpus-Based Study of Idiomatic Expressions in Learners' Written Production

   Author : Maria Wiktorsson; Engelska; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; corpus linguistics; idiom principle; open choice principle; construction grammar; compositionality; conventionalisation; idiom; formulae; collocation; prefab; Swedish learners of English; L2; Idiomaticity; L1; English language and literature; Engelska språk och litteratur ; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to investigate how Swedish learners of English (at different levels of proficiency) master idiomaticity in their target language.

   Abstract : Usability aspects of programming languages are often overlooked, yet have a substantial effect on programmer productivity. These issues are even more acute in the field of Inductive Synthesis, where programs are automatically generated from sample expected input and output data, and the programmer needs to be able to comprehend, and confirm or reject the suggested programs.
