Discourse Representation Theory
1. Introduction This article concerns Discourse Representation Theory narrowly defined as work in the tradition descending from Kamp (1981). The same term is sometimes used more broadly, occasionally embracing Heim’s (1982) work and the developments initiated by Groenendijk and Stokhof (1989, 1991). However, the more common common label for the extended DRT family is “dynamic semantics”, and that is the term we will use, too. Two features that set DRT apart from other varieties of dynamic semantics is that it is representational and non-compositional.

Why Chomsky was Wrong About Corpus Linguistics – corp.ling.stats
Introduction When the entire premise of your methodology is publicly challenged by one of the most pre-eminent figures in an overarching discipline, it seems wise to have a defence. Noam Chomsky’s famous objection to corpus linguistics therefore needs a serious response. “One of the big insights of the scientific revolution, of modern science, at least since the seventeenth century… is that arrangement of data isn’t going to get you anywhere.
UKC Forums - Borsuk-Ulam theorem.
In reply to DaveHK: Just skimmed over the thread, so my apologies if this has been posted below and I missed it: So if I remember correctly from my university maths ages ago the whole thing is a generalized claim about properties of two steady functions f(x) and g(x) that is obvious for the simple case R -> R case: If within some interval of x f(x) rises from A to B and g(x) drops from B to A, their graphs must cross at some point if neither fuctions is allowed to do sudden jumps. The most intuitive physical equivalent is that you can stabilize any four legged table that stands on uneven ground with one leg in the air by simply rotating it around its centre (the table top may not end up horizontal, of course). Simply plot the height the floating leg will have above or below the ground (relative to some absolute height mark) against the angle of rotation as you turn the table, keeping the other three legs fixed to the ground.

Scientists Claim That Quantum Theory Proves Consciousness Moves To Another Universe At Death
Learning Mind| A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible. Beyond time and space Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.

Myths and urban legends shape how we understand the causes of illnesses like colds, pneumonia, and flu and how they spread. Word choice can help keep such myths in circulation. English corpus data shows how polysemy reinforces myths and mythbusting about catching a cold. Folklore can evoke monstrous causes for disease, e.g., witches spreading plague (Brooks) or vampires bringing porphyria and tuberculosis (Lane; Ponti). Or conversely, that contagion creates monsters, like the zombies in Ling Ma’s Severance and Stephen King’s The Cell. But even in the realm of prosaic illnesses like colds, pneumonia, and flu, myths and urban legends shape how their spread is predicted and infection can be avoided.
