A simile, a figurative comparative statement, is simply a comparison that manifestly requires and therefore routinely receives this kind of adjusted truth-conditional interpretation.
Therefore, even if a sentence DRS admits of a truth-conditional interpretation, it will typically fall short of capturing everything that is conventionally thought to belong to truth-conditional content.
In the DRT framework, sentences have meanings, if at all, only in a derivative sense: a sentence prompts the hearer to modify his DRS, and it is DRSs that have a truth-conditional interpretation.
Motivated by a conditional expectation interpretation of the Segal Bargmann transform, we derive the integral kernel for the large-N limit of the two-parameter Segal Bargmann–Hall transform over the unitary group U N), and explore its limiting behavior.
Field's construction is an intricate interplay between using fixed-point constructions for successively interpreting T, and revision sequences for successively interpreting the nonclassical conditional — the final interpretation being determined by a sort of super-revision-theoretic process.
The more we enter into the epistemic view of conditionals the more the interpretation of conditionals will be grounded on current beliefs (not necessarily by appealing to hidden indexicality).[13] For our purposes here the Original Adams Hypothesis will be a good point of departure.
The overlay was visual and conditional using three visual interpretation rules (dominance, unimodality and scarcity conservation), and landscape properties were produced.
Recent developments in weather data availability and advances in statistical modelling mean that we can now begin to test the conditional factors for weather interpretation outlined above.
The study design was intentionally exploratory and the interpretation accordingly conditional.
We ranked the models based on AICc and calculated their posterior and conditional probabilities for further interpretation.
