Relevance theory and the semantics of non-declarative sentences
No full textWilson and Sperber (1988a; Sperber and Wilson 1986) have proposed semantic
analyses of declaratives, imperatives and interrogatives which are based on the notion
of 'a direct semantic link between linguistic form and representations of propositional
attitude'. They claim, however, that the various syntactic structures encode 'procedural'
rather than 'conceptual' information. Rather than encoding concepts which appear in
representations of propositional attitude (or what Sperber and Wilson call 'higher-level
explicatures') they convey information about how to proceed in recovering such
representations.
This thesis is an attempt to extend this analysis to some constructions which have
not been explicitly discussed by Wilson and Sperber, to consider the differences between
this approach and some alternatives, and to question the status of the notion of a
'sentence type', which has often been assumed in analysing the various syntactic
structures. Some evidence is provided that certain lexical items also encode procedural
information about propositional attitudes, and the role of intonation in utterance-interpretation
is also discussed.
This analysis is based on relevance-theoretic assumptions about semantics and
pragmatics. Chapter one presents the general approach to semantics assumed by
relevance theory and shows how Wilson and Sperber's proposal fits into this framework.
Chapter two is concerned with the proposed semantic analysis of imperatives.
This analysis is extended to some 'pseudo-imperatives': forms consisting of the
conjunction or disjunction of an imperative and a declarative clause, which have often been treated as conditionals. An analysis of imperative-like constructions containing 'let'
or 'let's' is also proposed. This analysis can be extended to related forms containing 'may'.
Chapter three is concerned with the semantic analyses of interrogatives and
exciamatives proposed by Wilson and Sperber. This approach is extended to some
constructions which seem to resemble interrogatives in some ways and exciamatives in
others. The relationship between grammar and intonation is also discussed. Tonal
structure can also be seen as encoding procedural information.
Chapter four contrasts this approach with alternatives which treat illocutionary
force or mood as semantic categories. Wilson and Sperber's approach is more successful
than the alternatives and suggests reasons for their inadequacy. A straightforward
account of the relationship between form and force, and the interpretation of utterances
which have been said to perform 'indirect speech acts', follows from Wilson and
Sperber's proposal

José Marques de Melo e a escola latino-americana de comunicação: obra, pensamento e história
Get PDFThis study proposes an understanding regarding the life and work of one of the theoretical precursors of Latin American School of Communication, José Marques de Melo . The paper also points out the main ideas and concepts developed by the author, revisiting some of his works. Through literature review, it became possible to draw an overview of research in the improvement of communications in regions of Latin America as well as the emergence and establishment of a Latin American School of Communication. The relevance of Marques de Melo for this thought is explained in this study, in addition to its contribution to the defense of journalism as a scientific field and independent knowledge. Your valuable approach, illustrating the importance of empiricism to the understanding of communication phenomena and the construction of scientific knowledge in the area, is elucidated in the work. Este estudo propõe uma compreensão referente à vida e obra de um dos teóricos precursores da Escola Latino Americana de Comunicação, José Marques de Melo. O trabalho ainda aponta as principais ideias e conceitos desenvolvidos pelo autor, revisitando algumas de suas obras. Por meio de análise bibliográfica, tornou-se possível traçar uma visão panorâmica do aprimoramento das pesquisas em comunicação em regiões latinas da América, bem como do surgimento e estabelecimento de uma Escola Latino Americana de Comunicação. A relevância de Marques de Melo para este pensamento é explanada neste estudo, além de sua contribuição na defesa do Jornalismo como campo científico e de conhecimento independente. Seu valioso enfoque, alusivo à importância do empirismo para o entendimento dos fenômenos comunicacionais e para a construção de conhecimento científico na área, é elucidado no trabalho

Teoria cinética veicular à la Enskog

Defesa: Curitiba, 18/02/2009Inclui bibliografiaResumo: É desenvolvido neste trabalho um modelo contínuo de segunda ordem para o fluxo veicular tendo como ponto de partida uma equação cinética para dois casos distintos, a saber: (i) aproximação de veículos pontuais e (ii) veículos extensos. Da equação cinética são derivadas equações de balanço para ambos os casos e via o método dos momentos de Grad e um método iterativo são computadas as respectivas relações de fechamento. Por fim faz-se a análise linear de estabilidade das soluções para os campos de tráfego densidade e velocidade veicular média, sendo ainda analisadas as velocidades características com que pequenas perturbações se propagam no fluxo veicular.Abstract: A second-order continuum model for traffic flow is developed in this work starting with a kinetic equation for two different cases, namely: (i) dimensionless vehicles and (ii) extensive vehicles. From the kinetic equation are derived balance equations for both cases and through Grads moment method and an iteration procedure the respective closure relations are evaluated. Finally the linear stability analysis for the solutions of vehicular fields density and average velocity as well as the analysis of the characteristic speeds propagation of small disturbances in traffic flow is made
