Concepts and Primitive Language Games

PICARDI, EVA · Archivio istituzionale della ricerca (Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna) · 2008

The paper offers a novel interpretation of the notion of a primitive language game, as it occurs both in the opening sections of Wittgenstein's Philosophicall Investigations and in his later writings. A connection is made between concepts mastery and language games. Wittgenstsin's work is placed and discussed in the context of recent discussion in the philosophy of language and compared to W.V. Quine's and R. Brandom accounts of meaning and linguistic practice.

Speech, language and primitive mental states

Jevremović, Petar, Vulević, Gordana · Faculty of Philosophy (University of Belgrade) · 2015

This text will be concerned with theoretical and clinical implications of spoken language within the context of the therapeutic (transference) situatation. Structural and dynamical characteristics of spoken logos (its semiotic, semantic and prosodic functions) will be analysed within the framework of the modern critical psychoanalysis. In the hermeneutical background of this analysis will be the (technical and theoretical) problem of dealing with the primitive mental states. This states are unmentalized, unsimbolized and cognitively unreachable.

Primitive Lepcha Language in Eastern Himalaya

D.K Pradhan · Himalayan Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities · 2021

The Lepcha, a tribe of mid forest of Eastern Himalaya having its language characteristic sharing affinity with compound vowels of the Chinese language and Burmese language. The vowels of Lepcha found some affinities with the Chinese phonetics. The mono-syaballe of Lepcha language is expressive along with compound vowels. There are six consonants having similarity with Burmese strokes in Lepcha language. The writing style, use of monsyallaballe and phonetic resembling Chinese language and Burmese scripts are uniqueness of Lepcha language. The Lepcha script characteristics are sharp, strokes or pointed.This paper attempted to discourse the Lepcha language and its script for the documentation of information of Lepcha community.

Object identity as a query language primitive

Serge Abiteboul, Paris C. Kanellakis · Journal of the ACM · 1998

We demonstrate the power of object identities (oids) as a database query language primitive. We develop an object-based data model, whose structural part generalizes most of the known complex-object data models: cyclicity is allowed in both its schemas and instances. Our main contribution is the operational part of the data model, the query language IQL, which uses oids for three critical purposes: (1) to represent data-structures with sharing and cycles, (2) to manipulate sets, and (3) to express any computable database query. IQL can be type checked, can be evaluated bottom-up, and naturally generalizes most popular rule-based languages. The model can also be extended to incorporate type inheritance, without changes to IQL. Finally, we investigate an analogous value-based data model, whose structural part is founded on regular infinte trees and whose operational part is IQL.

Object identity as a query language primitive

Serge Abiteboul, Paris C. Kanellakis · 1989

We demonstrate the power of object identities (oid's) as a database query language primitive. We develop an object-based data model, whose structural part generalizes most of the known complex-object data models: cyclicity is allowed in both its schemas and instances. Our main contribution is the operational part of the data model, the query language IQL, which uses oid's for three critical purposes: (1) to represent data-structures with sharing and cycles, (2) to manipulate sets and (3) to express any computable database query. IQL can be statically type checked, can be evaluated bottom-up and naturally generalizes most popular rule-based database languages. The model can also be extended to incorporate type inheritance, without changes to IQL. Finally, we investigate an analogous value-based data model, whose structural part is founded on regular infinite trees and whose operational part is IQL.

PrimitiveC-ADL: Primitive Component Architecture Description Language

Basel Magableh · Arrow - TU Dublin (Technological University Dublin) · 2012

In this paper, we introduce an architecture descrip- tion language (ADL) for PCOMs (a context oriented component model). The language is described at three levels: (1) Building blocks (PCOMs context oriented components types) (2) Connec- tors, which connect components externally and internally, and (3) Architectural Configuration, which includes a full description of composition and decomposition mechanisms.\nThe contribution is designing ADL. That supports context- orinted component by providing new architecture elements, which fulfil the requirements of designing context oriented component based applications. Context oriented component is a behavioural unit composed of static parts and dynamic parts. A PCOMs component model design was introduced in our previous work. PCOMs proposes a component model design to compose context-aware system by capturing context condition at runtime. The model is a component-based one that modifies the application architecture by subdividing components into subsystems of static and dynamic elements. We map each context condition to a composable template architectural configuration. Each context condition acts to select behavioural patterns, which combine to form application architectures.\nDifferent types of architecture elements are proposed in this work. We focus in defining the following new elements: Com- ponents’ dynamic and static parts, components’ layers, decision policies, and composition plan. Finally we introduce an ADL that fully supports context aware applications, by supporting the definition of a component as a unit of behaviour. Our ADL clearly defines the composition mechanisms, and provides proper definition for the composition’s design Patterns and composition plan.\nA Context oriented component is a behavioural unit composed with static parts and dynamic parts.

PROTOTYPES IN A HYBRID LANGUAGE ~fITH PRIMITIVE DESCRIPTIONS

Enrico Franconi, Oliviero Stock · 2008

Abstract--ln this paper, the problem of instance recognition within an extended hybrid knowledge representation system is addressed. Structural aspects of concepts are represented at two separate levels, the terminological (using strict definitions) and the prototypical; individuals are expressed in a frame-based assertional component. Primitive descriptions in the terminological language are defined and discussed. The hybrid reasoning mechanism recognizes the type of the individuals with respect to the terminology, making use of reasoning with prototypes associated to primitive concepts. This approach shares basic ideas with the "Dual Theory " about the mental representation of concepts; concepts have a twofold representation: a "core description, " useful for compositional meaning, and a further "identification procedure, " containing information for recognition of typical instances of a concept. Within the identification procedure a "similarity model " is proposed that describes the probability rating that an object belongs to a class, supported by the similarity that the object shares with the prototype of that class. 1.

Natural Language Steganography and an \AI-complete" Security Primitive

Richard Bergmair · 2006

In order to sketch, why steganography is such an important topic, and has received far too little attention from the hacker community in the past, let me quickly challenge our view of cryptosystems as commonly built in the context of military or commercial applications: Cryptosystems are designed to protect our sensitive data from evil arbitrators. Wrong. Well, maybe not. But then again, what is evil? Basically one could say, hacker ethics is about protecting a good individual from a bad society and this has some severe consequences in the construction of secure communication systems. In particular, I would like to draw our attention to the evil spy, we are envisioning, when we think about cryptosystems, who intercepts sensitive military communication, and to the criminal who fakes banking transactions. Most often, what we have in mind, when we build cryptosystems is a bad individual in a good society, which is rather some instance of witch hunt ethics. In practice this assumption has the simple incarnation, that cryptograms are vulnerable to detection, since a good society would encourage the use of cryptography
