Texto completoLaughter is a social vocalization universal across cultures and languages. It is ubiquitous in our dialogues and able to serve a wide range of functions. Laughter has been studied from several perspectives, but the classifications proposed are hard to integrate. Despite being crucial in our daily interaction, relatively little attention has been devoted to the study of laughter in conversation, attempting to model its sophisticated pragmatic use, neuro-correlates in perception and development in children. In the current thesis a new comprehensive framework for laughter analysis is proposed, crucially grounded in the assumption that laughter has propositional content, arguing for the need to distinguish different layers of analysis, similarly to the study of speech: form, positioning, semantics and pragmatics. A formal representation of laughter meaning is proposed and a multilingual corpus study (French, Chinese and English) is conducted in order to test the proposed framework and to deepen our understanding of laughter use in adult conversation. Preliminary investigations are conducted on the viability of a laughter form-function mapping based on acoustic features and on the neuro-correlates involved in the perception of laughter serving different functions in natural dialogue. Our results give rise to novel generalizations about the placement, alignment, semantics and function of laughter, stressing the high pragmatic skills involved in its production and perception. The development of the semantic and pragmatic use of laughter is observed in a longitudinal corpus study of 4 American-English child-mother pairs from 12 to 36 months of age. Results show that laughter use undergoes important development at each level analysed, which complies with what could be hypothesised on the base of phylogenetic data, and that laughter can be an effective means to track cognitive/communicative development, and potential difficulties or delays at a very early stage

Texto completoAs in many parts of the world, the need for healthcare services is increasing rapidly in South Africa. Owing to many official languages in the country, health service delivery is continuously challenged by spoken language and semantics. The challenges result to poor health services in many areas of the country. Thus, this study was undertaken with the aim: to develop a framework which can be used to guide the selection and implementation of mobile systems in the translation of language semantics for improved healthcare service delivery in South Africa. For this purpose, the study was based on one significant research question: How can the challenge(s) of semantics and language translation in South African healthcare delivery be addressed using mobile systems? In achieving the aim of the study, a qualitative study was conducted using the semi-strtructured interviews to collect the data. The analysis of the data was carried out using the hermeneutic approach within the interpretative paradigm, which was guided by two theories, actor network theory (ANT) and diffusion of innovation (DOI). The ANT was used to focus on the interaction and relationship between human and non-human actors within a heterogeneous networks, in the activities of healthcare. The DOI was employed to examine how mobiles systems can be diffused, in addressing the challenges and barriers which the health facilities encounter from language perspective. The case study approach was followed, based on three cases, two healthcare organisations, and a community in the northern part of South Africa were used in the study. Based on the analysis of the data, the influencing factors were found, and interpreted. The interpretation helps gain deeper understanding of the challenges, from which a framework (see Figure 6.5 in Chapter 6) was developed. From an understanding of the factors that influence language semantics, and its translaton by using mobile systems, challenges in the South African healthcare can be reduced, and quality improved. The way in which the theories were used brought a fresh perspective to the study. In practice, the framework can be used by both healthcare practitioners and ICT specialists to guide the selection, use and support of mobile systems for the translation of language semantics in South Africa. The complementary use of ANT and DOI in the study contributes methodologically.

Texto completoSummary The study’s purpose is: To find out if digital characters could improve the communication between programming instructors and learners by standardizing the implication “placeholder” or “replace this”. What characteristics could be used to communicate placeholders? To answer the purpose, it has been broken down into two research questions. What opinions do programming instructors and learners have about using placeholder-characters to improve the communication between them? What characteristics could a placeholder have to better communicate its purpose? To answer the research questions, two focus groups were held. One with instructors and one with learners. They are then asked to discuss placeholders, placeholder- characters and their characteristics. Later transcribed, categorized and analyzed into findings that are discussed and concluded upon. The participants mostly believed that placeholder-characters can confuse more than they are able to help, more often the case for beginners. That the placeholder’s semantics of the label is crucial for understanding the purpose of it. Using a different letter-casing for placeholders could make it easier to find and understand that it deviates from the rest of the code in the concerned code example, preferably “SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE”. A placeholder-character is considered viable to use as a global standard if it complies with the following five requirements: It is universally used (A standard). Available easily (found on any keyboard). Shows what and what not to replace (keep quotation marks). Is understood by programming-software (displayed and compiled correctly). Not used for other purposes in coding already (has another implication). Otherwise it is not considered supposable for implementation.

Texto completoThe language used in Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (or MMORPGs) is a form of computer-mediate communication. It consists of elements from both written and spoken language, but it is a highly abbreviated and innovative form of written language. This study focuses on the English language used in a MMORPG called Warhammer Online. The aim of this study is to identify abbreviations, interpret their meanings and to analyze the word formation processes and semantic changes that are involved in new words. The method used in this study is a qualitative case study of the English language in a MMORPG from a synchronic point of view. The secondary sources used in this study include previous works on morphology and semantics. The material used is based on logs acquired from the game Warhammer Online as a subscribed player. The results presented in this study show new and unique words created by players in Warhammer Online, along with other semantic changes that have taken place. It is concluded that the English written language has not seen such a major change in its entirety before, within one community.

Este estudo está vinculado a um projeto de pesquisa maior (CHISHMAN, 2007) e tem como objetivo fazer uma investigação semântico-computacional dos verbos de elocução do Português. A abordagem teórica e metodológica utilizada é a Semântica de Frames (Fillmore 1982, 1985), que está inserida na área da Linguística Cognitiva. Sob a perspectiva da Semântica de Frames, foi criada a base de dados FrameNet, que apresenta as possíveis combinações semânticas e sintáticas (valências) de cada palavra, juntamente com cada um dos seus sentidos. Este trabalho aborda os verbos de elocução a partir deste paradigma e nossa escolha se justifica pelo fato destes verbos serem uma classe que expressa uma série de nuances semânticas, como, por exemplo, a subjetividade e a expressão da emoção, permitindo que diferentes perspectivas se voltem para seu estudo.

This study is linked to a larger research project (CHISHMAN, 2007) and aims to make a computer-semantic Portuguese lexicon investigation of the communication verbs. The theoretical and methodological approach used is Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1982, 1985), which is inserted in the field of Cognitive Linguistics. In the perspective of Frame Semantics the FrameNet database was created, which presents the possible semantic and syntactic (valences) combination for each word, with each of its senses. This paper presents a proposal for a study of the communication verbs from this paradigm, and this choice is justified because these verbs are a class that expresses a series of semantic nuances, such as the subjectivity and expression of emotion, allowing different perspectives related to its study. Besides the theorical view, we present an empirical study which includes the syntactic-semantic description of ten communication verbs. For the compilation of the corpus, we used Sketch Engine tool.

Is meaningful communication possible between two intelligent parties who share no common language or background? We propose that this problem can be rigorously addressed by explicitly focusing on the goals of the communication. We propose a theoretical framework in which we can address when and to what extent such semantic communication is possible. Our starting point is a mathematical definition of a generic goal for communication, that is pursued by agents of bounded computational complexity. We then model a "lack of common language or background" by considering a class of potential partners for communication; in general, this formalism is rich enough to handle varying degrees of common language and backgrounds, but the complete lack of knowledge is modeled by simply considering the class of all partners with which some agent of similar power could achieve our goal. In this formalism, we will find that for many goals (but not all), communication without any common language or background is possible. We call the strategies for achieving goals without relying on such background universal protocols. The main intermediate notions introduced by our theory are formal notions of feedback that we call sensing. We show that sensing captures the essence of whether or not reliable universal protocols can be constructed in many natural settings of interest: we find that across settings, sensing is almost always sufficient, usually necessary, and generally a useful design principle for the construction of universal protocols. We support this last point by developing a number of examples of protocols for specific goals. Notably, we show that universal delegation of computation from a space-efficient client to a general-purpose server is possible, and we show how a variant of TCP can allow end-users on a packet network to automatically adapt to small changes in the packet format (e.g., changes in IP). The latter example above alludes to our main motivation for considering such problems, which is to develop techniques for modeling and constructing computer systems that do not require that their components strictly adhere to protocols: said differently, we hope to be able to design components that function properly with a sufficiently wide range of other components to permit a rich space of "backwards-compatible" designs for those components. We expect that in the long run, this paradigm will lead to simpler systems because "backwards compatibility" is no longer such a severe constraint, and we expect it to lead to more robust systems, partially because the components should be simpler, and partially because such components are inherently robust to deviations from any fixed protocol. Unfortunately, we find that the techniques for communication under the complete absence of any common background suffer from overhead that is too severe for such practical purposes, so we consider two natural approaches for introducing some assumed common background between components while retaining some nontrivial amount of flexibility. The first approach supposes that the designer of a component has some "belief" about what protocols would be "natural" to use to interact with other components; we show that, given sensing and some sufficient "agreement" between the beliefs of the designers of two components, the components can be made universal with some relatively modest overhead. The second approach supposes that the protocols are taken from some restricted class of functions, and we will see that for certain classes of functions and simple goals, efficient universal protocols can again be constructed from sensing. Actually, we show more: the special case of our model described in the second approach above corresponds precisely to the well-known model of mistake-bounded on-line learning first studied by Barzdirs and Frievalds, and later considered in more depth by Littlestone. This connection provides a reasonably complete picture of the conditions under which we can apply the second approach. Furthermore, it also seems that the first approach is closely related to the problem of designing good user interfaces in Human-Computer Interaction. We conclude by briefly sketching the connection, and suggest that further development of this connection may be a potentially fruitful direction for future work.

O padrão de publicação científica da atualidade é o periódico científico eletrônico. Com a chegada da internet e, principalmente, com a chegada das publicações eletrônicas, a humanidade passou a dispor de muita informação ao mesmo tempo, o que ocasionou uma grande “explosão informacional”. Hoje, a informação é produzida em um ritmo que excede as habilidades humanas. É determinante neste cenário, mobilizar o computador para tratar e processar o conteúdo das informações disponíveis no ambiente Web. Mesmo com a facilidade de acesso ao texto completo dos artigos de periódicos científicos, através de bibliotecas digitais, repositórios digitais, o formato utilizado no meio eletrônico ainda é textual legível somente por pessoas, o que impossibilita o seu processamento semântico por programas. As páginas da Web foram construídas com semânticas locais, e este fato, se constitui como o maior obstáculo para integrar seus conteúdos. Pensar em organizar o caos informacional disponível na Web se tornou imperativo para possibilitar novas formas de acesso à informação digital. A Web 2.0 e Web 3.0 (Web Semântica) se configuram como novas propostas para alcance desses objetivos. A Web Semântica propõe incorporar sentido às informações de maneira que as máquinas possam compreender a linguagem humana, ou seja, fornecer estruturas e dar significado ao conteúdo das páginas Web; e a Web 2.0, além de facilitar a comunicação interpessoal e compartilhar informações, se destacando também pela colaboração científica, incentivando os periódicos científicos tradicionais a adotarem ferramentas colaborativas como os blogs em seus websites. Várias experiências estão sendo desenvolvidas atualmente no sentido de utilizar as tecnologias da Web 2.0 e Web Semântica em publicações acadêmicas eletrônicas. A proposta desta pesquisa é identificar projetos e experiências inovadoras de periódicos científicos que utilizam as tecnologias da Web Semântica e Web 2.0 para fornecer acesso direto ao conteúdo semântico dos artigos científicos digitais e ampliar o potencial de compreensão e recuperação do conteúdo semântico e de interação entre autores e leitores de artigos científicos digitais na Web. O desenvolvimento desta pesquisa está fundamentado nas bases da Ciência da Informação, em especial na Comunicação Científica, dando ênfase à evolução do periódico científico como canal privilegiado deste meio de comunicação e na Ciência da Computação, ao que diz respeito às tecnologias da Web Semântica e Web 2.0. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza documental na Web, bibliográfica, aplicada, qualitativa exploratória e descritiva, que utiliza o método comparativo encontrado no estudo das Ciências Sociais, para a exploração dos fenômenos, identificação das características comuns e diferenças existentes nas dezesseis experiências analisadas por este estudo. Dentre os resultados destas análises, constata-se que o tradicional modelo de artigo científico impresso já não atende muitas das novas necessidades dos pesquisadores e não utiliza efetivamente as potencialidades oferecidas pelas novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação para ampliar a comunicação científica. O grande percentual das experiências analisado está voltado para a área da Saúde, o que reflete o aspecto pioneiro da área Biomédica. As experiências propõem um passo adiante para a questão da recuperação e processamento semânticos de conteúdos em ambientes digitais. Ou seja, vão além do modelo do artigo impresso, lido exclusivamente por pessoas utilizando as tecnologias semânticas para que estes possam ser “inteligíveis” também por programas. Existe um uso efetivo de tecnologias da Web 2.0, com vistas a facilitar o relacionamento do pesquisador no ambiente digital, cujas métricas baseadas nestas atividades podem informar medidas mais rápidas de impacto, complementando as métricas tradicionais de citação, esboçando assim, um novo cenário para a cientometria com o uso destas tecnologias.

Texto completoThis thesis investigated, in Guinea Baboons (Papio papio), two fundamental characteristics of language: combinatorial semantics and symmetry. Compositionality (the process allowing to interpret complex expressions from the respective meanings and syntactic organization of their components) relies on a combinatorial semantics, i.e. the integration and/or inference of the respective meanings of combined words, when their order itself is not meaningful. Baboons’ ability to associate label combinations (a shape one and a color one) with their respective referents thus was assessed within experiments that mirrored the two situations faced by children acquiring language: subjects were trained on certain label combinations and tested on new ones, then trained on single labels and tested on their combinations. Symbolism (the capacity of words to represent extra-linguistic entities which thus can be spatially and/or temporally distant, if not abstract) relies upon the abilities to form both categorical representations of words referents (i.e., concepts) and symmetrical (i.e., bilateral) relations between words and their meanings. We thus evaluated in baboons the effects of categorical processing of visual objects upon the emergence of symmetrical relations between these objects and arbitrary labels, then attempted to distinguish, in both humans and baboons, the respective influences of the two properties of symmetrical relations: reversal of the stimuli ordering, and preservation of the stimuli relation

Texto completoEn esta tesis doctoral se presentan cuatro estudios de electroencefalografía (EEG) que investigaron correlatos neurales asociados al procesamiento anticipatorio durante la comprensión de frases. Los tres primeros estudios de la tesis se centraron en explorar los mecanismos implicados en la fase anticipatoria de la predicción en población no patológica. El primer estudio describió, por primera vez, correlatos de procesamiento anticipatorio asociados a la predicción lingüística durante la comprensión auditiva de frases. En el intervalo entre el contexto y la palabra final de una frase, se observó la aparición de una negatividad sostenida, con una amplitud mayor cuanto más fuertemente esperada a nivel semántico era la palabra final. El segundo estudio replicó la observación de este índice anticipatorio en la modalidad de comprensión escrita. Además, permitió determinar que las diferencias en la actividad neural en función de la expectativa semántica emergían pronto y aumentaban progresivamente a lo largo del procesamiento de las frases. Por último, el tercer estudio reveló que las palabras contextualmente esperadas estaban también precedidas por una desincronización neuronal en alfa, común en ambas modalidades de comprensión. Por sus características psicofisiológicas, los correlatos observados son consistentes con mecanismos anticipatorios vinculados a la predicción de aspectos semánticos durante la comprensión de frases. Finalmente, el cuarto estudio evaluó el estado de los mecanismos previamente descritos en adultos con enfermedad de Parkinson (PD) (con compensación dopaminérgica), dado que esta patología cursa con déficits cognitivos que afectan el uso apropiado contextos oracionales. El grupo de pacientes con PD exhibió correlatos normales de anticipación y procesamiento semántico comparados con el grupo control. Por otra parte, se encontró que el procesamiento semántico estaba afectado en un subgrupo de pacientes con PD y deterioro cognitivo leve (DCL), respecto a pacientes sin DCL. En concreto, se observó una prolongación significativa del procesamiento semántico de aquellas palabras que no encajaban con la expectativa del contexto oracional. Por último, en toda la muestra de PD, una peor fluidez verbal correlacionó con alteraciones en anticipación y procesamiento semánticos, sugiriendo que déficits en mecanismos dependientes de circuitos temporales en pacientes con PD podrían mermar el procesamiento predictivo durante la comprensión de frases.

Texto completoBrands are today looking for new ways to convey their identity. Currently, brands sound identity is mostly based on music for ads or for selling places, and communication elements like voice or jingles. In this thesis, we focus on products sound design as a way to convey brand identity. Is it possible to take into account brand values in the writing of the requirements for a sound designer? For a given object, what are the relevant design features to consider in order to communicate a desired identity? In our works, we propose a sound design methodology for the translation of brand values into sound attributes, and for conveying the resulting sound identity through a series of products. Based on the analysis of several studies on sound verbal description, we elicited a sound lexicon of 35 words adapted to the description of sound properties. We propose to use this lexicon along with two communication tools, moodboards and a “sound design deck”, to translate brand identity into words easily understandable by both experts and non-experts. We also propose a methodology for linking the physical constraints of the objects to design to words of the lexicon. This method is based on a sound indexing experiment, inspired from sensory analysis. The methodology we propose is applied to the design of SNCF sound identity through different elements (alarms, validating machines, split-flap displays…). The originality of this work resides in its interdisciplinarity combining different approaches such as marketing, design, sensory analysis and auditory perception. This work proposes both methodologies and tools that facilitate communication in sound design, and shows that it is possible to convey brand identity through products sound design

Considerando a falta de uma epistemologia que associe o design de comunicação às novas tecnologias da informação e a outros domínios complementares e salientando a necessidade de uma abordagem científica ao estudo dos elementos que estruturam o grafismo na comunicação em movimento, o principal objectivo deste trabalho consiste no estabelecimento de uma gramática funcional aplicada ao design de comunicação. Utilizou-se uma metodologia mista de base qualitativa, assente em duas vertentes: uma contextualização teórica, produto de uma crítica literária abrangente de várias áreas de conhecimento, especíicas ou complementares do design de comunicação: a semiótica, a percepção visual, a tipograia e os suportes digitais; uma recolha e selecção de variáveis do movimento, completado com um estudo de casos relevantes; um estudo da legibilidade das fontes e do efeito semântico do movimento aplicado à tipografiaia digital, cujos resultados são analisados e validados por um grupo de foco. O principal resultado desta tese consiste num contributo para uma redefinição e uma actualização de procedimentos no que respeita aos actuais suportes tecnológicos.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this research project is to study movement and digital typography. Considering the lack of any epistemology associating communication design to the new information technologies and other complemental ields, while underscoring the need for a scientiic approach to the study of elements that structure graphism when applied to communication in movement, this work sets out primarily to establish a functional grammar to be applied to communication design. A qualitative-based mixed methodology was used, looking at the subject from two different angles: a theoretical contextualization, the outcome of a literary critique encompassing various areas of knowledge that are specific or complemental to communication design: semiotics, visual perception, typography and digital supports; a collection and selection of movement variables, enhanced with a study of relevant cases; a study on the legibility of sources and the semantic effect of movement as applied to digital typography, the results of which are analyzed and validated by a focus group. The main conclusion of this theory contributes to redeining and updating procedures in relation to current technological media.

Texto completoThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse, from a semantic and enunciative point of view, the European Union's discourse on employment and the fight against discrimination. The Corpus is made up of 155 documents published between 2004 and 2011 by the European Commission's DG for Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion. Our goal is to observe the way linguistic phenomena described in this work contribute to the construction and discourse stabilization of the linguistic sense and reference. The thesis is structured as follows: the first part will be dedicated to the presentation of the corpus and problematic. This section also contains the fundamental principles of enunciative semantics along with a description of the AntConc software we will employ in order to explore the reference corpus. The second part is focused on the corpus analysis and is divided into three chapters. The first one deals with the linguistic expression of subjectivity and will concentrate on the study of the enunciative modalities. The second one is dedicated to an analysis of the enunciative heterogeneity of the European Union's discourse, in particular from the Scandinavian Theory of Linguistic Polyphony's point of view. Finally, in the last chapter, we will observe the way a verbal sequence ? whether it be a collocation, a simple or complex syntagma, may create a speech event

Texto completoHow to understand “enunciation” in the meaning of an utterance? This is the question we are trying to answer in this thesis. Defending a discursive approach to meaning (Carel 2011, Ducrot 1984), we set ourselves the objective of bringing light to a conception of enunciation in this perspective. Our major challenge, as a result, is to demonstrate with tangible illustrations an enunciation that is not conceived as a kind of “world event” relating to the production of an utterance. As we know, it’s about this conception of enunciation, taken for granted, when most authors (Kleiber 2008, Recanati 2008) interpret an utterance containing a deictic expression such as "I am French" or "It's hot here". Mostly defenders of the referential approach to meaning, these authors pick up the referent corresponding to the occurrence of the word "I" and that of the word "here", with the meaning of these two words taken respectively as "the one that produces the occurrence of I" and "the place where the occurrence of here is produced". Given that such an identification of the referent involves, inevitably, a look at the production of the utterance concerned, the enunciation thus appears extralinguistic and as the event constituted by the production of the utterance. Based on Benveniste (1966) and Ducrot (1984) respectively, though not without certain inspiration of our own, we try to sketch the outline of another conception of enunciation, which is the one that comes rather from the linguistic system itself, unlike the one that is dependent on the extralinguistic context. In order to illustrate this conception of enunciation, we conduct analyses mostly on pronouns, and the semantic foundation is drawn from the works of these two authors, as well as from the elements that we develop on this basis. In fact, whether it’s the comparative analysis between "I know that p" "You know that p" "She knows that p" or the one between "I'm beautiful" "You're beautiful" "He's (It’s) beautiful", our descriptions do entail consequences. On the one hand, they show that pronouns can have a semantic value that is neither relative to the reference nor to the enunciation taken as an extralinguistic event. On the other hand, our analyses show that we can account for the non-referential elements of meaning with the frame, inspired by these two authors, that we strive to develop
Bentahar, Jamal. "A Pragmatic and Semantic Unified Framework for Agent Communication". Thesis, Université Laval, 2005. http://www.theses.ulaval.ca/2005/22724/22724.pdf.
Texto completoIn this thesis, we propose a unified framework for the pragmatics and the semantics of agent communication. Pragmatics deals with the way agents use communicative acts when conversing. It is related to the dynamics of agent interactions and to the way of connecting individual acts while building complete conversations. Semantics is interested in the meaning of these acts. It lays down the foundation for a concise and unambiguous meaning of agent messages. This framework aims at solving three main problems of agent communication: 1- The absence of a link between the pragmatics and the semantics. 2- The inflexibility of current agent communication protocols. 3- The verification of agent communication mechanisms. The main contributions of this thesis are: 1- A formal pragmatic approach based on social commitments and arguments. 2- A new agent communication formalism called Commitment and Argument Network. 3- A logical model defining the semantics of the elements used in the pragmatic approach. 4- A tableau-based model checking technique for the verification of a kind of flexible protocols called dialogue game protocols. 5- A new persuasion dialogue game protocol. The main idea of our pragmatic approach is that agent communication is considered as actions that agents perform on social commitments and arguments. The dynamics of agent conversation is represented by this notion of actions and by the evolution of these commitments and arguments. Our Commitment and Argument Network formalism based on this approach provides an external representation of agent communication dynamics. We argue that this formalism helps agents to participate in conversations in a flexible way because they can reason about their communicative acts using their argumentation systems and the current state of the conversation. Our logical model is a model-theoretic semantics for the pragmatic approach. It defines the meaning of the different communicative acts that we use in our pragmatic approach. It also expresses the meaning of some important speech acts and it captures the semantics of defeasible arguments. This logical model allows us to establish the link between the semantics and the pragmatics of agent communication. We address the problem of verifying dialogue game protocols using a tableau-based model checking technique. These protocols are specified in terms of our logical model. We argue that our model checking algorithm provides a technique, not only to verify if the dialogue game protocol satisfies a given property, but also if this protocol respects the underlying semantics of the communicative acts. Our persuasion dialogue game protocol is specified in our framework using a logical language, and implemented using a logic programming and agent-oriented programming paradigm. In this protocol, the agents’ decision making process is based on the agents’ argumentation systems and the notion of agents’ trustworthiness.

Texto completoThis thesis exposes a practical approach for the automatic reverse engineering of undocumented communication protocols. Current work in the field of automated protocol reverse engineering either infer incomplete protocol specifications or require too many stimulation of the targeted implementation with the risk of being defeated by counter-inference techniques. We propose to tackle these issues by leveraging the semantic of the protocol to improve the quality, the speed and the stealthiness of the inference process. This work covers the two main aspects of the protocol reverse engineering, the inference of its syntactical definition and of its grammatical definition. We propose an open-source tool, called Netzob, that implements our work to help security experts in their work against latest cyber-threats. We claim Netzob is the most advanced published tool that tackles issues related to the reverse engineering and the simulation of undocumented protocols

Texto completoThis research focuses on self-reference in the speech of autistic children. Throughout this work, two main objectives were developed. The first was to show that self-reference depends on the cognition of the person. Consequently, the autistic person will manifest a different cognition over the long term, expressed qualitatively in terms of speech. The second objective was to integrate self-reference in its typical and autistic use into a semantic, pragmatic and cognitive theory.For the first objective, I based my analysis on three French corpora: a longitudinal corpus of a neurotypical child and two corpora of two children with autism. The analysis of the corpora showed that the three children construct their self-reference similarly, they build on their communicative intentions and the input. However, the two autistic children’s mental model of self-reference is determined by cognitive mechanisms that function differently for them. This results in self-reference expression characterized by the long-term use of non-standard forms, in parallel with the standard first person forms.For the second objective, I compared two contemporary theories of reference: the direct reference theory (David Kaplan) and the neo-Fregean theory (Gareth Evans) which are known as two philosophies of reference (in relation to the speaker). Evans’ mentalist position can make sense of what happens at the mental level when one refers to oneself: in all cases, reference to oneself is actually achieved through a specific and epistemic presentation

Texto completoCommunications in general and linguistic abilities in particular, constitute formidable obstacles for many children with ASD, who struggle with making their ideas, feelings and intentions known to others. Lexical semantics is fundamental to choosing the right words, and understanding the surrounding world. In research on ASD, language abilities are very widely measured on the basis of performance on tasks testing lexical semantic abilities—knowledge of the meaning of words. However, very little is known about how lexical semantic abilities are related to other aspects of language in ASD
