Full textAbstract:
One commonly stated reason for thinking that there are abstract entities such as propositions is that they are needed to account for undeniable facts about propositional attitudes and the sentences reporting such attitudes. According to the propositional theory, belief, doubt, assertion and other attitudes are relations between individuals and propositions. In sentences reporting these relations the words in the content-sentence (e.g., ‘p’ in sentences of the form ‘S said that p’) refer to concepts or other abstract things and the entire ‘that-clause’ refers to a proposition. According to a common rival account, propositional attitudes are complex relations between individuals and sentences and each that-clause refers to the content-sentence it contains. The words in the content-sentence either fail to refer or refer to themselves. A striking implication of both the propositional theory and the sentential theory is that the words and phrases in the content-sentence of a sentence expressing a propositional attitude fail to refer to the familiar things to which they ordinarily refer.

Full textAbstract:
Speakers often use ordinary words and phrases, unembedded in any sentence, to perform speech acts—or so it appears. In some cases appearances are deceptive: The seemingly lexical/phrasal utterance may really be an utterance of a syntactically eplliptical sentence. I argue however that, at least sometimes, plain old words and phrases are used on their own. The use of both words/phrases and elliptical sentences leads to two consequences: 1. Context must contribute more to utterance meaning than is often supposed. Here's why: The semantic type of normal words and phrases is non-proppositional, even after the usual contextual features are added (e.g., reference assignment and disambiguation). Yet an utterance of a word/phrase can be fully propositional. 2. Often, a hearer does not need to know the exact identity of the expression uttered, to understand an utterance. The reason: Typically, words/phrases in context will sound the same, and mean the same, as some elliptical sentence token.

In this paper I argue against the account Soames offers in Beyond Rigidity of the semantics and pragmatics of propositional attitude reports. I defend a particular constraint for identifying semantic content of phrases based on conditions for semantic competence, and argue that failure of substitutivity is an essential component of our competence conditions with propositional attitude predicates. Given that Soames's account makes no room for this, I conclude that he does not offer an adequate explanation of propositional attitude reports.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of a Palestinian Arabic negation-associated exclusive construction featuring the contrastive focus marker illa ‘but’, with theoretical implications for the syntax of negation, negative polarity item licensing, and the categorical status of the root in sentential syntax. It analyzes illa-phrases as constituents licensed by a c-commanding sentential negation (Neg), and illa as a grammatical device encoding contrastiveness. A crucial source for the exclusive semantics of the construction comes from a silent bass ‘only’ immediately following illa that constitutes a syntactic ‘shield’ against Neg scope. Rather than taking an in-situ focus-interpretation approach (cf. Rooth 1985, 1992), we argue for two covert movements at the syntax-semantics interface: quantifier raising of illa-phrases to the designated specifier of polarity Phrase followed by Polarity-to-Focus-raising of Neg. This creates the right syntactic configuration for the truth conditional import of both operators and captures the ‘classical’ thought that focus-sensitive exclusive operators like only quantify over propositional alternatives.

Full textAbstract:
This contribution concerns the interaction of morphology, syntax and semantics. It treats German past participles and concentrates on their function as heads in attributive and adverbial modifier phrases. It is argued that participles have the same argument structure as the underlying verbs and can undergo passivization, perfectivization and conversion to adjectives. Since these three operations involve changes in the morphosyntactic categorization they are considered as zero affixation. Two affixless templates – without any categorical changes – convert participle constructions to modifiers relating to participants or to situations. These phrases do not have a syntactic position for the grammatical subject, an operator or an adverbial relator. The pertinent components are present only in the semantic structure. Two further templates serve the composition of participle constructions as modifiers with the modificandum. It is necessary to differentiate between modifiers which function as predicates and those which have the status of a propositional operator. In syntax, these different semantic functions correspond to different adjunct positions of the respective participle phrases.

This paper addresses the question of how to account for the semantic variability ofweak free adjuncts. Weak free adjuncts are non-clausal adjuncts that associate with an argumentof the main predicate, contribute propositional content, and can interact with temporalor modal operators, which leads to different, adverbial-clause-like interpretations. I focus on aspecific type of weak adjuncts, non-clausal as-phrases, and propose a unified semantic analysisfor the full range of interpretational possibilities that takes into account the interpretational contingencyon different syntactic positions. I show that this analysis improves on Stump’s (1985)original analysis of weak adjuncts. I then go on to discuss the limitations of both Stump’s accountand the unified account. Both accounts fail to capture that the interaction of weak adjunctswith modal operators underlies certain restrictions on the properties of the modal operators—anobservation that has not been discussed in the literature so far.Keywords: weak free adjuncts, semantic variability, as-phrases, temporal/modal operators.

La phrase complexe en français contient deux ou plusieurs verbes conjugués, elle est donc composée de deux ou plusieurs propositions est un mot français invariable qui sert à lier des mots, ou des propositions. Cette phrase complexe se compose de trois types, c’est-à dire: la coordination, la subordination, et la juxtaposition. Chaque type des phrases complexes a une caractéristique qui le distingue des autres. Basée sur l’explication, le but de cette recherche est de trouver et d’identifier la nature et l’emploi des Les Propositions Subordonnées dans Le Roman Madame Bovary par Gustave Flaubert. Cette recherche parle des propositions subordonnées dans le roman Madame Bovary par Gustave Flaubert, consistent en la nature et la fonction de ces propositions subordonnées. Selon Martin et Lecomte (1962), la nature des propositions subordonnées se compose de six natures, c’est-à-dire : la proposition subordonnée complétive, la proposition subordonnée circonstancielle, la proposition subordonnée interrogatif, la proposition subordonnée relative, la proposition subordonnée infinitive, et la proposition subordonnée participe dont chacun a sa propre fonction. Cette recherche utilise deux approches, ce sont l’approche de théorétique (l’approche de la syntaxe) et l’approche de méthodologique (descriptive analytique qualitative). Les sources de données utilisées dans cette recherche sont les phrases indiquées comme les propositions subordonnées dans le roman Madame Bovary par Gustave Flaubert. La méthode de recueillir des données dans cette recherche est la méthode de simak (la méthode d’épargne) avec la technique de basse sadap (la technique de taraudage de langue) et les techniques avancées : la technique SBLC (la chercheuse ne participe pas à la conversation réelle) et la technique catat (la chercheuse a obtenu les données de prise de notes dans la carte de données). La méthode utilisée dans cette recherche est la méthode distributionnelle avec l’utilisation de la technique de basse Bagi Unsur Langsung (B-U-L), et puis continuée par les techniques avancées, c’est la technique d’ellipses. Les étapes de cette recherche sont: Collecter des données, identifier et classifier des phrases indiquées comme les propositions subordonnées et ensuite les arranger dans le corpus de données, lire tous les phrases indiquées comme les proposition subordonnées, traduire tous les phrases indiquées comme les propositions subordonnées, et analyser de la nature et la fonction des propositions subordonnées. Du résultat de la recherche, on peut conclure que la nature de la proposition subordonnée la plus trouvée est proposition subordonnée circonstancielle, et la fonction de la proposition subordonnée la plus trouvée est complément du nom dans la proposition subordonnée relative. Il est prévu que cette recherche donne une idée à l'étudiant du département de langue et de littérature étrangère, particulièrement le programme d'étude de littérature française pour faire des recherches sur la proposition subordonnée dans la langue française avec une perspective et un style d’analyse différents.

Full textAbstract:
The Prophets of Scripture are subverted by the Rabbis of the Talmud and Midrash. In the Rabbinic canon the writings of the Prophets are represented as a mass of prooftexts, made up of one clause or sentence at a time. Scripture’s prophetic writings cited in clauses and phrases in the Rabbinic canon thus lose their integrity and cease to speak in fully coherent paragraphs and chapters. So the Rabbis of late antiquity took over writings from what they recognized as remote and ancient times and of divine origin, and they re-presented selections of those writings in accord with their own project’s requirements, glossing clauses of the prophetic Scriptures but not whole, propositional discourses. This article illustrates how they did so, portraying the formal patterns of the Rabbis’ subversive glosses.

AbstractRecent literature has focused on specifying the nature of causal relations. Although the identification of whether connectives prototypically convey objective or subjective relations has been carried out for languages such as French, Dutch and English, the same has not occurred in the case of Spanish. The present study examines frequently used connectives and lexical cue phrases in terms of domain, propositional attitude, and presence of a Subject of Consciousness (SoC) in order to determine the degrees of subjectivity conveyed by the connectives. The findings show thatdebido a (que)is a highly specific connective used in objective causal relations about facts which do not involve SoC. On the contrary, the connectivesporqueandya quepresent similar flexibility that result in both being used to convey subjective and objective causal relations. This study supports the assumption of subjectivity being a cognitive mechanism that shows across different languages.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to discuss the noun and prepositional
phrases in English and in Vietnamese and their impact
upon teaching and learning English in the Vietnamese
situation. Attempts have been made to state the similarities
and differences in noun and prepositional phrases in the
two languages and raise and solve some difficulties and
problems arising particularly from differences between
English and Vietnamese.
In this study, Contrastive Linguistics is concerned
with the comparison of the two languages with a view to
determining the differences and similarities between
them. With this practical aim the study tries to provide
a model for comparison and determine how and which of the
phrases are comparable.
It is hoped to provide as much information as is
possible in a limited study of this kind on English noun
and prepositional phrases, then on Vietnamese noun phrases.
The study draws attention to differences with examples.
It analyses the heads of noun phrases in the two languages
as well as the pre and postmodifications and their
positions. It also analyses the uses of the prepositional
phrases in the two languages. At the same time, it points
out the kinds of errors made by Vietnamese learners in the
above-mentioned areas and their causes.
Finally, some suggestions are made for those who
may be responsible for teaching English as a Foreign
Language to younger pupils as well as adults, or to
students at universities or colleges

Leem, Jaiho. "Les "petites propositions" en français contemporain : syntaxe et interprétation." Paris 10, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA100039.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse concerne un certain nombre de problèmes touchant les "petites propositions" en français contemporain. Les conclusions de notre étude menée dans le cadre théorique de la "théorie spatiale de la syntaxe" sont entre autres les suivantes (I) La phrase n'est pas par définition verbale : elle peut être non seulement verbale, mais aussi nominale (S --> GNGV ou GN-GPréd (Préd est non verbal)). (II) La petite proposition n'est rien d'autre que la phrase nominale. Celle-ci peut apparaître sous la forme indépendante dans un contexte spécifique tel qu'un titre d'article du journal, et dans ce cas, elle s'organise dans le domaine syntaxique Sn(ominal). La phrase nominale peut occuper aussi la position syntaxique réservée au complément du verbe (la phrase nominale peut occuper soit la position GN du complément proche du verbe soit la position Sn du complément éloigné du verbe) ou la position GN du complément de la préposition avec dans la construction absolue introduite par cette préposition. Pourtant, la phrase nominale ne peut occuper la position de sujet d'une phrase. (III) Lorsque la position de sujet de la petite proposition est vide, la copule peut se présenter optionnellement dans cette position. C'est un élément redondant, mais son apparition peut produire un effet sémantique. (IV) Le manque du temps autonome dans la petite proposition est la conséquence de l'absence de la position GV dans la forme de la phrase nominale. Dépourvue de forme temporelle du verbe, la petite proposition est associée à l'interprétation "purement" prédicative. L'interprétation prédicative associée à la petite proposition est la propriété domaniale de S ou GN réalisée avec le concours des membres de ce domaine qui sont juxtaposés. (V) Il y a des constructions qui sont associées à l'interprétation prédicative sans constituer une unité syntaxique (ex. Le système de complémentation appelé par le verbe trouver). Ces constructions s'organisent dans un "domaine syntaxique purement domanial"This dissertation is concerned with small clauses in contemporary French. The conclusions of our study in the framework of the `spatial theory of syntax' are among other things as follows :(I) The sentence is not verbal by definition : it can be verbal, but nominal as well (i. E. S --> NP-VP or NP-Pred(icate)P (Pred is not verbal)). (II) Small clauses are nominal sentences. They can occur as independent clauses in specific contexts such as newspaper headlines or rudimentary speech, and in this case, they are organized in the Sn(ominal) syntactic domain. Also, nominal sentenses can occupy the verb complement position (more precisely, they can occupy either verb 'near complement' position (NP), or verb `distant complement' position (Sn}) and the complement position of the preposition avec (NP) in the absolute construction introduced by this preposition. On the other hand, nominal sentences cannot occupy the subject position of a sentence. (III) When the subject position of a small clause is empty, the copula may fill this position. It is a redundant element, but its presence can produce a semantic effet. (IV) The absence of the autonomous tense in small clauses is a consequence of the lack of the VP position in the structure of nominal sentences. This is why small clauses are associated with a “purely” predicative interpretation. As for the predicative interpretation associated with small clauses, it is the property of the domain S or NP achieved by the members of this domain which constitute the structural order of juxtaposition. (V) The agreement observed in small clauses is the morphological form marking the predication relation between two members of small clauses, subject and predicate. (VI) There are constructions associated with the predicative interpretation which don't form a constituent (e. G. The complement structure of the verb trouver). These constructions are organized in the “purely domanial syntactic domain”

Ensuite, nous avons identifié les différents types de relatives: avec et sans antécédent et la particularité de quelques schémasIn this thesis, we have emphasized on some syntactic and semantic questions related to the way how relative sentences could be constructed in written arabic, and its specific characteristics as compared to on the one hand, the morrocan arabic and on the other hand, other languages belonging to different language families. Firstly, we have analysed the formal structure of relative sentences by emphasizing on their formal similarities with concessive and indirect interrogative sentences. Secondly, we have identified tow types of relative sentences: those which are with and without antecedent

Full textAbstract:
La subordonnée conjonctive consécutive en ut est étudiée d'un point de vue à la fois syntaxique, sémantique et pragmatique. Dans les chapitres I et II, cette proposition est analysée, en synchronie et en diachronie, en fonction des différents traits morphématiques qui la constituent : subordonnants, corrélatifs, négations (en principale, en subordonnée), morphologie et sémantisme des verbes (de la principale, de la subordonnée). Une attention particulière est portée, dans le chapitre II, au fonctionnement des temps (présent, imparfait, parfait, plus -que-parfait et périphrases verbales) et des modes (et plus précisement du subjonctif comme mode attendu en consécutive jusqu'en latin tardif). Du fait de l'influence possible de l'historiographie grecque sur l'historiographie latine et de l'évolution de la langue en latin chrétien, une réflexion est menée sur des modifications du subordonnant et des modes, attribuables parfois au bilinguisme grec-latin. Le chapitre III porte sur les changements du discours consécutif subordonné en ancien français, avec le renouvellement de son matériel lexical et l'entérinement de l'opposition modale entre conséquences virtuelle et réelle en germe en latin tardif. Le corpus de base, correspondant aux textes dépouillés, est constitué de textes d'historiens latins (s'étendant du Ie s. A. C. Au VIe s. P. C. ) : Salluste, César, Cornelius Nepos,Tite-Live, Quinte-Curce, Velleius Paterculus, Tacite, Suétone, Florus Justin, Ammien Marcellin, Grégoire de Tours. Le corpus médiéval comporte de nombreux extraits d'ancien et moyen français, notamment des traductions ou des adaptations de textes latins, comme la compilation historique "Li Fet des Romains"

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la lexicographie bilingue, plus précisément entre l’islandais et le français, avec comme objectif de jeter les bases d’un nouveau dictionnaire islandais-français qui serait accessible en ligne. Pour cela, nous avons rédigé des articles de dictionnaire en nous appuyant sur une nouvelle base de données lexicographiques développée pour des dictionnaires bilingues en ligne avec l’islandais comme langue source (ISLEX). Nous nous concentrons sur les besoins des utilisateurs islandais voulant s’exprimer en français mais nous partons du principe que le dictionnaire devrait également servir aux francophones. À travers notre traitement lexicographique, nous portons une attention spéciale à la syntagmatique et au traitement des locutions plus ou moins figées dans un dictionnaire bilingue. En effet, nous estimons qu’un bon dictionnaire bilingue devrait accorder une importance particulière aux unités phraséologiques telles que les collocations et les locutions figées de sens figuré. Après avoir étudié le rôle et la structuration idéale des dictionnaires bilingues selon les différentes fonctions qu’ils peuvent avoir, celle de l’encodage et celle du décodage, nous passons ensuite à une discussion sur la phraséologie et l’importance des locutions figées et semi-figées dans les dictionnaires bilingues. Nous présentons, par la suite, la microstructure de nos articles ainsi que les outils et les ressources informatiques sur lesquels nous nous appuyons. Les résultats de notre réflexion sur l’élaboration d’un nouveau dictionnaire islandais-français sont présentés sous la forme d’articles, suivis de remarques et d’explications sur nos choix lexicographiquesThis doctoral thesis on bilingual lexicography, and more precisely on lexicography between Icelandic and French, aims to lay the foundations for a new Icelandic-French dictionary that will be available on-line. To that purpose, we write entries for an Icelandic-French dictionary based on a new lexicographical database for Icelandic (ISLEX). The focus is on the needs of Icelandic users who wish to express themselves in French. However, it is clear that an Icelandic-French dictionary will also be useful for French speakers. Through our lexicographical treatment, we pay special attention to the syntagmatic analysis and to the presentation of more or less fixed phraseological units in a bilingual dictionary such as collocations and set phrases, since we consider that a good bilingual dictionary should take phraseological units into account. Having studied the role and the ideal structure of bilingual dictionaries according to the various functions that they can have, the encoding one and the decoding one, we then discuss phraseology and the importance of set phrases in bilingual dictionaries. The microstructure of our articles is then presented as well as the tools and resources on which we base our work. The outcome of our reflection on the writing of a new Icelandic-French dictionary is shown in the form of dictionary entries followed by remarks where an account is given of the way in which some lexicographical problems are tackled and our lexicographical choices are explained

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objectif de répondre à deux questions fondamentales sur la compréhension du langage :Quelle stratégie adopte le lecteur lorsqu'il rencontre une ambiguïté ?
Quelles sont les informations utilisées pour résoudre une ambiguïté syntaxique ?
Les modèles actuels de la compréhension de phrases ne permettent pas de rendre compte de l'ensemble des données inter-langues observées dans le cas de l'attachement d'une Proposition Relative (PR) ambiguë. Une série d'expériences a donc été réalisée afin de déterminer les facteurs responsables de l'attachement d'une PR. Nous avons utilisé la technique d'enregistrement des mouvements oculaires afin d'appréhender le décours temporel des opérations qui ont lieu pendant la lecture. Nous avons observé que la longueur des constituants influence la préférence d'attachement d'une PR (Expériences 1-4). Pour rendre compte de ces résultats, nous faisons l'hypothèse que certains attachements peuvent être laissés en suspens (sous-spécifiés) en attendant que l'information désambiguïsatrice soit disponible. À partir de cette hypothèse, nous avons implémenté un modèle qui nous permet de simuler nos résultats et de faire de nouvelles hypothèses quant aux facteurs susceptibles d'influencer la préférence d'attachement d'une PR. Ces prédictions ont été vérifiées dans l'Expérience 5. L'idée qu'en cas d'ambiguïté syntaxique, la décision syntaxique peut être reportée est développée dans la théorie Construal (Frazier et Clifton, 1996). Cependant, contrairement à notre modèle qui prédit que tous les constituants peuvent recevoir une description sous-spécifiée, la Construal propose que seules les relations non primaires reçoivent une analyse sous-spécifiée, les relations primaires recevant immédiatement une analyse syntaxique unique et spécifiée. Les Expériences 6-11 révèlent que la distinction entre relations primaires et non primaires proposée par la Construal n'est pas pertinente et nous permettent de conclure en faveur de notre modèle.

Cette recherche pseudo-longitudinale privilégiant une approche sociolinguistique et didactique s’inscrit dans le domaine du développement de l’interlangue à travers l’analyse des erreurs morphosyntaxiques du français. Notre public s’est compose des lycéens kenyans anglophones. Cela a été effectué au sein de la capitale du Kenya, Nairobi et de sa banlieue. Les entretiens sur le terrain comprenant des exercices descriptifs et conversationnels à l’oral et à l’écrit, ont mené à la description, l’analyse et l’étiologie des erreurs morphosyntaxiques en français langue étrangère (désormais FLE) dans les productions des apprenants dans un contexte lycéen. L’analyse de ce corpus écrit et oral a révélé les erreurs morphosyntaxiques écrites et orales en français les plus récurrentes ainsi que leurs causes chez les lycéens kenyans. Ce travail s’achève par l’élaboration de propositions didactiques à l’écrit et à l’oral présentant des pistes de réflexion sur la remédiation des erreurs morphosyntaxiques des lycéens kenyansThis research favoring a sociolinguistic and didactic approach is based on the development of interlanguage through the analysis of morphosyntactical errors in French by English speaking Kenyan high school students in Nairobi and its suburbs. Field research composed of descriptive and conversational oral and written exercises in French as a foreign language was carried out on selected high school students. This paved way to the description and analysis of morphosyntactical errors in French. The analysis of the written and oral corpus helped to identify the most recurrent morphosyntactical and written errors in French, as well as their etiology. This pseudo-longitudinal research culminated in suggested written and oral didactical activities aimed at the correction of these morphosyntactical errors

L'objectif de cette recherche est de bâtir un répertoire descriptif généralisé des structures interrogatives directes du français. Le travail est pluridisciplinaire : linguistique, informatique, documentation. La partie linguistique consiste à dresser un répertoire descriptif formel dans lequel toutes les propriétés pertinentes concernent l'interrogation. Ces propriétés doivent être suffisamment abstraites pour que n'importe quel formalisme puisse les incorporer au besoin. L'implémentation sous forme d'un répertoire vise ensuite l'incorporation des contraintes apportées par la description linguistique. Enfin, nous proposons une consultation de bases de données à visée linguistique, qui est reliée par interface à l'analyse informatique.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, the author argues that the English verb ‘see’ is an intensional transitive, like the search word ‘look for’. She argues that ‘see’ is akin to ‘look for’, both when it takes a noun-phrase complement (the objectual use) and when it takes a ‘that’-clause as its complement (the propositional use). This proposal goes against common wisdom to the effect that ‘see’ is a factive, non-intensional verb. The main argument of the chapter proceeds by showing that the objectual use of ‘see’ can be analyzed in terms of the propositional use. It then establishes that when used propositionally, ‘see’ functions as an intensional transitive. Finally, the author argues that the idea that ‘see’ is an intensional transitive provides evidence for a representational view of experience.

Type and location of prosodic prominence and prosodic phrase boundaries, differences in overall fundamental frequency (f0) contours, and changes in intensity, duration, and speaking rate can serve to inform hearers about syntactic attachment, disambiguate scope of modifiers and negation, signal information status, indicate type of speech act or propositional attitude, and contribute to the licensing of implicatures and to reference resolution. This chapter discusses aspects of prosodic variation and pragmatic meaning which have been explored in linguistics, computational linguistics, and psycholinguistics. It begins by describing some commonly used frameworks for representing prosody, including the ToBI framework, which is used to identify prosodic variation throughout. The pragmatic influence of prosody on the interpretation of syntactic, semantic, and discourse phenomena is then examined. It concludes by suggesting new avenues for research in the relationship between prosody and pragmatic interpretation.

This essay argues that the specificity Lepore & Stone demand of accounts of metaphors and other cases can be made compatible with the Gricean framework. It is argued that the Cooperative Principle and principles of rationality must be presupposed in order to embark on the coordinated activities of language use described by Lepore & Stone and that specific interpretive strategies enter into the picture when the hearer is trying to reconstruct the point of the speaker’s saying what she did. Lepore & Stone are correct that there need not be a proposition meant by a metaphor. Instead, the point of uttering a metaphor of the form x is y is to implicate a perspective of x as y. Many of Lepore & Stone’s objections can be handled by this revised proposal. This essay also explores how Lepore & Stone’s framework might illuminate the case of idiomatic phrases.

Between Impunity and Imperialism: The Regulation of Transnational Bribery describes the legal regime that regulates transnational bribery, identifies and explains the rationales that have guided its evolution, and suggests directions for reform. The broad argument is that the current regime embodies a set of values, theories, and practices labeled the “OECD paradigm.” A key premise is that transnational bribery is a serious problem which merits a vigorous legal response, particularly given the difficulty of detecting instances of bribery. The shape of the appropriate response can be summed up in the phrase, “every little bit helps.” In practice this means that: prohibitions should capture a broad range of conduct; enforcement should target as broad a range of actors as possible; sanctions should be as stiff as possible; and as many enforcement agencies as possible should be involved in the enforcement process. The OECD paradigm embraces two interrelated propositions: that transnational bribery is a serious problem and that it demands a uniform response. An important challenge to the OECD paradigm, labeled the “anti-imperialist critique,” accepts that transnational bribery is a serious problem but denies that the appropriate legal responses must be uniform. This book explores both the OECD paradigm and the anti-imperialist critique, and provides a detailed analysis of their implications for the key elements of transnational bribery law. It concludes by suggesting that the competing views can be reconciled by moving toward a more inclusive and experimentalist regime which accommodates reasonable disagreements about regulatory design and is crafted with due attention to the interests of all affected parties.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces paradoxical apophaticism on the divine essence and tests the common association of paradox and Sufism, with a particular focus on the self-contradictory phrases and statements in the “X-not-X” forms. Neither the employment nor the celebration of paradoxes were uniquely Sufi phenomenon. Yet it was primarily Sufis from early on who consciously adopted paradoxical apophatic approaches to the divine essence. I argue that the employment of paradoxes follows a rule-governed set of strategies in order to negate propositional discourse on God. These strategies entailed (1) a balanced, or symmetrical, attitude that finds affirmative and negative language equally disqualified, (2) a balanced take on the binary of divine incomparability and immanence, while the vast majority of Muslim scholars hold the former superior, and (3) a dialectical logic that performs divine trans-discursivity by uniting the irreconcilable opposites that constitute propositional discourse.

Full textAbstract:
In the present article we describe the semantic and structural properties of propositions with a phraseologized structure of the type “Хоть умри, но сделай!”, an issue that has not been studied in depth to date. The purpose of the study is to propose the phraseoschema of this type of proposition and to investigate the extent to which its components, in particular the phraseme chot’ + imperative, contribute to achieving the compositional meaning. From the analysis of the corpus of 28 examples, it emerged that the chot’ + imperative phraseme becomes a strong modal modifier in the type of propositions under examination.

Full textAbstract:
The standard interpretation that the laws of nature in Leviathan are not laws because he calls them theorems is mistaken. The theorems, or “dictates of reason,” are the propositions that Hobbes proves. But they need the force of a command to be, as he says “properly called Lawes.” Hobbes uses reason to prove them, and reason is the “undoubted word of God.” The author argues against John Deigh’s ingenious defense of the standard view. Deigh maintains that words in phrases that are technical terms do not retain their meaning outside of the phrase. But if that were true, then “civil laws” and “natural liberty” would not be laws or liberty respectively. Also, if they were not laws, Hobbes’s division of two kinds of law, civil and natural, would be absurd.
