It is part II of a phenomenon first presented as an interesting puzzle by the editor of Statistical Science, in 1994. Because of the debate which grew out of the observance of the original phenomenon, fifty-five (55) mathematicians signed a petition entitled Mathematicians’ Statement on Bible Code to denounce the observed phenomenon. Because the mathematicians are in error, the author of this paper felt inclined to write a rebuttal to Mathematicians’ Statement on Bible Code. To substantiate her rebuttal, this author presents an interesting puzzle of her own which she dubs “An Interesting Puzzle Part II,�? in which she demonstrates, contrary to the mathematicians’ position, that Bible Code can be hidden in any text of any length, including in the names of the key participants in the original Bible Code debate. Her demonstration brings into focus the question of predestination and free-will. She ends her work with three hypotheses that collectively explain the phenomenon and provide a scenario in which both creationism and evolutionism co-exist in the life cycle of mankind. The author of this paper is unaffiliated with the publisher of the original article published in Statistical Science and is also unaffiliated with the authors and rebutters of the prior work.","PeriodicalId":123650,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy of Language eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125842634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss some special annotation issues for the corpus of Pear film retellings (Russian CliPS) by people with aphasia (PWA), right hemisphere damage (RHD), and healthy speakers (HP for healthy people) of Russian. The study summarizes the comprehensive annotation schema developed for this task and the preliminary research of the referential choice features based on the corpus. Comparing retellings and written texts, we found a significant difference in the use of basic coreferential expressions between the two. Firstly, there is a significant difference in the distribution of basic NP types. Speakers use reduced devices such as zero anaphora or bare nouns in retellings more frequently than in written texts. There are also differences in the distribution of more granulated features such as the word order within an NP, the use of anaphoric and reduced expressions (demonstratives or zero NPs) for the first mention of an entity, and the inclusion of epistemic markers into NPs. We also found that the retellings produced by PWA and HP do not differ much in terms of the distribution of basic NP types. However, a detailed analysis within different NP types and taking into consideration various disfluencies reveals some prominent differences between the two populations. These include a difference in zero subject distribution, the frequency of non-referential NP links, the frequency of co-reference errors. While adapting the initial coreference annotation scheme we concluded that besides referential ambiguity, which is normally taken into account in spoken discourse analysis, and basic taxonomy of the referential devices (full NP vs. anaphoric pronoun vs. anaphoric zero), other features need to be considered","PeriodicalId":123650,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy of Language eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133093991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have undertaken the review of previous LWI investigations and, as the methodological basis of our research, we have used ethno-semantic and linguistic-philosophical approaches to language; specifically, the method of multiple etymology, introduced by V. N. Toporov and developed by M.M. Makovsky, which permitted us to identify the correlation of LWI with linguistic signs as a carrier of symbolic meaning. It should be noted that studying symbolic language properties and linguistic signs within the linguistic world-image, which were not taken into account before, is conductive to a more profound comprehension of the correlation between language, culture, and mutual understanding index in the intercultural communication process.The LWI concept is considered as a subjective-objective dynamic multilevel construct, which presents its primary features through a lexical-semantic language system within a world and national culture formed as a result of the reflection of sensorial perception, facts, understanding and estimation of the objective phenomena in national linguistic consciousness, in the experience of correlation of language concepts, images and symbols throughout the cultural historical development of the language. Therefore, two approaches to studying LWI are evident - cognitive and cultural-philosophical - which are not so much conflicting as mutually reinforcing. \u0000 \u0000This article is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.","PeriodicalId":123650,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy of Language eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130816113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corpus-Based Profiles of Russian Nouns: From Grammatical Number to Lexical Semantics 基于语料库的俄语名词概况:从语法数到词汇语义

However, previous attempts to infer semantically relevant hierarchies of nouns from frequency biases within their grammatical forms seem to have failed. In this paper we explore the distinctive power of grammatical profiles of Russian nouns using the ratio of plural forms as observed in the Russian National Corpus (cf. roditel? ?parent? having 95% plural forms and mama ?mom? having just 2% plural forms). We claim that since frequent nouns for the most part are semantically ambiguous, their profiles cannot reveal any straightforward effects for large lexical classes. Instead of working on the macro-lexical level we focus on micro-effects within specific taxonomic groups, studying grammatical profiles of body part names, kinship terms, names of vehicles and emotions. The analysis involves the notion of functional frames which represent how objectsevents are typically used and typically observed. Our case studies show that grammatical profiles help to structure each group and correlate with certain properties of functional frames associated with nouns","PeriodicalId":123650,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy of Language eJournal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128653963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
