Linguistic meta-theory the formal and empirical conditions of acceptability of linguistic theories and descriptions
No full textMost linguists acknowledge, explicitly or implicitly,
the relevance of epistemological questions in
linguistics but relatively few have given more than a
cursory, ad hoc or incomplete consideration to them.
The work of one of those few, Jan Mulder, forms the
starting point for much of the present discussion.
Epistemological considerations arise in many contexts
in linguistics and in many guises. It is an epistemological
matter whenever we test the adequacy of a
description or the acceptability of a theory. Epistemological
considerations are latent whenever we discuss
the form or the content of linguistic theories
and descriptions or their interrelations. The comparison
of different approaches to linguistics inevitably
raises epistemological questions concerning our
approach to linguistics or our presuppositions about it.
These questions are of a general nature and transcend
questions about particular linguistic theories and descriptions.
These epistemological questions force us to
consider what we take linguistics to be. In considering
questions of the type mentioned we are forced, for
example, to analyse what we mean by a "linguistic
theory", a "linguistic description" and what phenomena
we are aiming to understand. We are, furthermore,
forced to analyse the constraints which a scientific
attitude places upon linguistic theorising
and description-building. It is these questions concerning
the acceptability of linguistic theories and
descriptions which we call linguistic meta-theory.
This thesis falls into five main parts. Firstly,
in Chapter One, we consider the nature and scope of
linguistic meta-theory. Secondly, in Chapter Two, we
look at a number of previous approaches to the subject.
Other important contributions are discussed as they
arise in the text. Thirdly, in Chapters Three and
Four, we consider in detail the major meta-theoretical
distinctions in linguistics and their consequences.
In particular, we distinguish linguistic theories
from linguistic descriptions and discuss the nature of
linguistic phenomena. The view is put forward that
linguistics is a scientific subject. The meaning of
this assertion is analysed and the interrelations of
linguistic theories, descriptions and phenomena are
considered in the light of this analysis. The main
epistemological requirement that is put forward and
defended is that of the empiricism of linguistics.
Certain changes in our view of the philosophy of science
and in our view of the form of linguistic theories
and descriptions follow from the conjunction of
these major meta-theoretical positions.
Fourthly, we consider the main meta-theoretical
considerations concerning theories (Chapter Five) and
reject a widespread view of linguistic theory as a
non-empirical study (Chapter Six) and we consider the
main meta-theoretical conditions relating to linguistic
descriptions and some practical examples of description
-building consonant with the general positions adopted
in Chapter Seven. In Chapter Eight, we look at a concrete
example of theory-building in the light of the
meta-theoretical conditions of acceptability previously
set up. We are especially concerned to show how a
theory can meet the condition of being "applicable" or
"indirectly scientific" through the establishment of
acceptable empirical descriptions consonant with the
meta-theoretical conditions on descriptions considered
earlier.
The view that linguistics is a science implies
that we must be concerned with the empirical testing of
descriptions and, so, the fifth part of the work is
devoted to methodology. In Chapter Nine, we defend
the role and necessity of methodology in linguistics
and set up the logical framework of relations between
the methodology and theory descriptions and phenomena.
In Chapter Ten, we examine two of the known types of
empirical testing and their shortcomings. Finally, in
Chapter Eleven, we give an example of the successful
and correct application of a methodology in order to
bring out the nature of empirical testing and to demonstrate
its feasibility within a scientific linguistics
of the sort we imagine
Elisabeth Mulder: una escritora en la encrucijada entre el Modernismo y la Modernidad
No full textThis essay is about Elisabeth Mulder (Barcelona 1904-1987) works. We can settle her works mainly between 30’s and 50’s. This essay is structured in three main parts. 1) “ the lyrical prehistory of Elisabeth Mulder” (“prehistory” and “history” are concepts used by Consuelo Berges referring to two different periods in the works of Elisabeth Mulder), analyses the evolution of her lyrical works between 1927 and 1933; an evolution from the poetry of symbolism and ”malditismo” to the poetry of the serenity of the Novecentism. 2): “The narrative history of Elisabeth Mulder” offers us the chronological study of her narrative works, as well as the study of the main formal and topical characteristics of her narrative works, going beyond the clichés settled by the critics about Mulder’s cosmopolitan, and elegant novel, a novel that was so different from the Spanish postwar- novel. This essay offers us three interesting elements in Mulder’s narrative works: her concept about identity, her concept about love and the utilization of humour as an element to break literary clichés. 3) “A writer between Modernism and Modern Times” analyses the combination of elements that come from the Modernism and the ones that come from the Avant-Garde in the narrative works of Elisabeth Mulder.El presente artículo estudia la obra de Elisabeth Mulder (1904-1987) escritora barcelonesa que desarrolló su obra principalmente entre los años 30 y 50. Está estructurado en tres partes. 1) “La prehistoria lírica” de Elisabeth Mulder (“prehistoria e historia son términos que proceden de Consuelo Berges para referirse a dos períodos distintos de la producción de Elisabeth Mulder) estudia la evolución de su poesía entre 1927 y 1933, desde el simbolismo y el “malditismo” hasta la serenidad novecentista. 2)“La historia narrativa de Elisabeth Mulder”intercala el estudio cronológico con el establecimiento de las líneas principales temáticas y formales de su narrativa, yendo más allá de los tópicos forjados por la crítica acerca del cosmopolitismo y elegancia de su novela, alejada de las características de la narrativa de la postguerra española. Señala como elementos interesantes, su concepción de la identidad, su concepción del amor y la utilización del humor como elemento destopificador. 3) “Una escritora entre el Modernismo y la Modernidad” establece finalmente las características de Elisabeth Mulder como las de una escritora entre ciertos elementos del modernismo y ciertos elementos de la vanguardia

Phonology of San Martin Quechua
No full textWhile the present work is far from being a definitive one,
it does aim at providing a fairly complete phonology of San
Martin Quechua. The author has tried to give a satisfactory account
of the descriptive problems and their possible solutions for the
dialect. The theoretical principles used to solve the problems
are explained, the notions of the theory are defined, and their
application to the data is outlined in every case, and explained
in some detail in many cases as well.
This work is unusual among works on Quechua as regards the
space it devotes to explaining and solving problems in the description.
Existing descriptions of Quechua may be characterised as
supposedly problem-less descriptions. The present work treats
Phonology, not as a subsidiary to grammar but as a universe in
its own right, with its own problems and solutions. The European
background of the work, and the 'axiomatic' approach of Mulder,
have undoubtedly contributed in, great measure to the nature of this
description, and to what some might call its 'preoccupation' with
problems. Without wishing to tag derogatory labels on Bloomfieldian
linguistics (enough writers have done so already). I have written
the present work as a possible answer to what I believe to be an
inadmissable ‘gap’ in Quechua linguistic description as it stands
the lack of a rigorous autonomous phonology, which attempts to
recognise, state and solve descriptive problems. It is to be hoped
that the present work provides a beginning for a fully-fledged
discipline of Quechua phonology. [Taken from the forward not from the abstract]
Investigation of Practical Flight Control Systems for Small Aircraft
No full textPersonal air transportation utilizing small aircraft is a market that is expected to grow significantly in the near future. However, seventy times more accidents occur in this segment as compared with the commercial aviation sector. The majority of these accidents is related to handling and control problems. In commercial aviation, Fly-By-Wire (FBW) technology is used to prevent these types of accidents. Instead of downscaling advanced and high-cost FBW platforms, a low-cost solution should be considered for the general aviation market. In the European project “Small Aircraft Future Avionics Architecture”, a FBW platform is developed specifically for small aircraft. In this environment, Flight Control Law (FCL) designs are needed that have robustness against model uncertainties, sensor bias, sensor noise and time delays, while being fast and accurate enough to accommodate the relatively agile dynamics of a small aircraft. FCL designs that meet these requirements are called practical FCL designs in this thesis. Based on a dynamic model of a Diamond DA 42 and a description of the dynamic properties of the FBW platform, two different FCL designs are synthesized and analyzed in this thesis. The first design uses classical control theory and the second design uses a newly developed nonlinear design method, based on backstepping, singular perturbation theory and approximate dynamic inversion. This latter method, called Sensor-Based Backstepping (SBB), uses no dynamic model information and relies solely on measurements. Both FCL designs are compared on sensitivity to parametric uncertainty, sensor noise, disturbances, time delays, handling qualities, design effort, certifiably and the option to add flight envelope protection. In the scope of this thesis, SBB is selected as the preferred FCL design. This method produces good aircraft responses without knowing the exact dynamic behavior of the aircraft during FCL synthesis, as long as the system is minimum phase, controllable and sufficiently time-scale separated.Control and OperationsAerospace Engineerin
