  1. 1. Norms and Alternatives : Logical Aspects of Normative Reasoning

    Författare :Karl Nygren; Valentin Goranko; Dag Westerståhl; Ivano Ciardelli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; alternative semantics; norms; normative systems; deontic logic; modal logic; inquisitive semantics; inquisitive logic; semantics of questions; disjunction; free choice; obligation; permission; action; normative reasoning; ignorance; axiomatic system; completeness; Philosophy; filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I develop and investigate various novel semantic frameworks for deontic logic. Deontic logic concerns the logical aspects of normative reasoning. In particular, it concerns reasoning about what is required, allowed and forbidden. I focus on two main issues: free-choice reasoning and the role of norms in deontic logic. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The study of Swedish lake names may involve difficulties of many different kinds.

Lake names can be structured morphologically, semantically, chronologically and geographically. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Picture Viewing and Picture Description: Two Windows on the Mind

    Författare :Jana Holsanova; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; discourse hierarchy; picture description; vision; picture viewing; information flow; discourse segmentation; discourse analysis; coherence; semantics; spatial and temporal relations; cognitive science; linguistics; cognitive linguistics; psycholinguistics; speech; cognition; multimodal communication; mental processes; eye movement protocol; focus of attention; spoken language protocol; information processing; scene perception; areas of interest;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I connect two disciplines, linguistics and vision research, and combine two methods, spoken language protocols and eye movement protocols, in order to cast light on the underlying cognitive processes. In a series of studies, I investigate the processual aspects of picture viewing and picture description. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Analogical reasoning in science education : - connections to semantics and scientific modelling in thermodynamics

    Författare :Jesper Haglund; Helge Strömdahl; Konrad Schönborn; Roland Kjellander; Kevin Dunbar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; science education; thermodynamics; analogical reasoning; semantics; scientific modelling; naturvetenskapsdidaktik; termodynamik; analogiskt tänkande; semantik; vetenskaplig modellering;

    Sammanfattning : Analogiskt tänkande är en central kognitiv förmåga som vi använder i vardagslivet, såväl som i mer formella sammanhang, såsom i forskning och undervisning. Föreliggande avhandling behandlar hur analogier och analogiskt tänkande, uppmärksamhet på semantik och förståelse för vetenskaplig modellering kan användas för att hantera utmaningar i naturvetenskapsundervisningen, särskilt inom området termodynamik.

  7. 5. The Evaluability Hypothesis : The Syntax and Semantics of Polarity Item Licensing in Swedish

    Författare :Johan Brandtler; Svenska; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; downward entailment; long-distance; wh-questions; edge-feature; Spec-CP; negation; NPIs; PPIs; veridicality; term logic;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is concerned with the empirical and theoretical aspects of polarity item licensing in Swedish. I argue that polarity items are semantically sensitive to evaluability, a concept that refers to the possibility of accepting or rejecting a clause as true in a communicative exchange. Clauses are either evaluable or non-evaluable. LÄS MER
