Monday, 25 November 2024 - MSDRT: A formal framework for a communication-theoretic semantics and pragmatics of natural language
MSDRT (‘Mental State Discourse Representation Theory’) is an extension of DRT that was originally designed to provide a semantic treatment of multiple attitude attributions, like ‘John believes there is a new drug against high blood pressure and he wants to get hold of it as soon as possible.’ This can be a true report of what John believes and wants, even if John’s belief is false and there is no such new drug. But how is the anaphora of ‘it’ to ‘a new drug’ to be construed so that the right predictions are made about the truth conditions of such complex attributions?

Monday, 18 November 2024 - The Unnatural Language of Poetic Meters, or Why I Am Scared of SystematicityMonday
While poetic meters are shaped and constrained by language, they also are external to it. No one speaks to their coworkers in iambic pentameter. Meters function as cultural technologies, imposing a systematic pattern on a language that is itself already full of structured relationships. The interaction between these two systems leads to predictable, yet often unintuitive, effects at various textual levels. In large corpora, these effects accumulate into strong statistical regularities, becoming a major source of linguistic variation.
