  • How Languages Work Edited by Carol Genetti Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76744-6 — How Languages Work Edited by Carol Genetti Frontmatter More Information How Languages Work Language is a highly sophisticated tool we use to communicate with one another in a multitude of different ways. This new introduction to linguistics presents language in all its amazing complexity, while guiding students systematically through the basics. Students emerge with an appreciation of the diversity of the world’s languages, as well as a deeper understanding of the structure of human language, the ways it is used, and its broader social and cultural context. Chapters devoted to the nuts and bolts of language study – from speech sounds to sound patterns, from sentence structure to meaning – are combined with chapters introducing students to the “functional” aspects of language, such as discourse, prosody, pragmatics, and language contact, helping them gain a better grasp of how language works as speakers use it in daily interaction. A rich set of Language Profiles helps students explore the world’s linguistic diversity and identify similarities and differences between languages, while encouraging them to apply concepts from earlier chapter material. A range of carefully designed pedagogical features fosters student engagement by adopting a step-by-step approach along with study questions and case studies. Well-chosen illustrations support students in developing their analytical skills; the extensive online material includes multimedia resources for students and instructors. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76744-6 — How Languages Work Edited by Carol Genetti Frontmatter More Information How Languages Work An Introduction to Language and Linguistics Editor CAROL GENETTI University of California, Santa Barbara Assistant Editor ALLISON ADELMAN University of California, Santa Barbara Contributors Alexandra Y.

  • Aureole, Vol. XII, December 2020 PP 61-66
    ISSN: 2249 - 7862 (Print) Aureole, Vol. XII, December 2020 PP 61-66 www.aureoleonline.in SEARCH FOR AN IDEAL WORLD: POST-HUMANIST READING OF DAN BROWN'S NOVEL ORIGIN * Sandra Joy ** Reena Nair Abstract For centuries academicians, theorists, politicians put forth the need for an ideal world. Along with the quest for an ideal world, humans have been haunted by the two existentialist questions "Where do we come from?" and "Where are we going?" Post humanism is a philosophical perspective of how change is enacted in the world, as a conceptualization and historicization of both agency and the "human". It is based on the notion that humankind can transcend the limitations of the physical human form. Dan Brown is an American novelist and his novels feature recurring themes of cryptography, science and conspiracy theories. His novel Origin addresses these two existential questions "Where do we come from?" and "Where are we going?" Evolution is a bifurcating process - a species splits into two new species - but sometimes, if two species cannot survive without each other, the process occurs in reverse, instead of one species bifurcating, two species fuses into one. Kirsch formulates a theory of possibility for a "Seventh Kingdom" - "Technium", collaboration of human beings and technology. The resulting kingdom originates within the existing species as a process of endosymbiosis. With the advancement in technology, human beings can surpass their existing capabilities and gradually pave the way to a world of perfection. The novel provides the possibility for such an evolution to occur in the future. The paper is an attempt to analyse the scope for the emergence of "Seventh Kingdom" to occur in the future illustrating from the present scenario and thus giving rise to an ideal world.

  • Is Artificial Intelligence the Next Revolution in Organizations?
    Available online at http://www.anpad.org.br/bar BAR – Brazilian Administration Review Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, v. 15, n. 4, e180152, 2018 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-7692bar2018180152 Editorial: Artificial intelligence and industry 4.0: The next frontier in organizations Alexandre Moreira Nascimento University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA Carlo Gabriel Porto Bellini Universidade Federal da Paraíba, João Pessoa, PB, Brazil Editor-in-chief, BAR – Brazilian Administration Review In 2016, Professor Andrew Ng, from Stanford University, stated that artificial intelligence (AI) is the new electricity (Lynch, 2017). Such analogy illustrates the magnitude of the impacts of AI on businesses and society that are expected in coming years. That strong claim turned out to be very popular among AI researchers and practitioners, and has been frequently quoted in mass media. AI is a field of human interest since the 1950s. The field started with an interest on the nature of intelligence and the possibilities offered by computer software, aiming at the development of software capable of emulating intelligence to complement or supplement human intelligence (Simon, 1995). The field has made significant progress, but a precise definition of AI is still a challenge for those involved with disseminating concepts and applications. Simon (1995) thinks of it as a branch of computer science interested in bringing to reality the properties of intelligence by means of synthetic intelligence, while Stone et al. (2016) see it as both a science and a set of computational technologies inspired by, but different from, the way people use their nervous system and body to feel, learn, reason, and act.

  • PRINCIPLES of SYNTHETIC INTELLIGENCE
    PRINCIPLES of SYNTHETIC INTELLIGENCE Building Blocks for an Architecture of Motivated Cognition Joscha Bach, Universität Osnabrück Cover artwork by Alex Guillotte (based on a painting by Leonardo da Vinci), used with friendly permission of the artist. Principles of Synthetic Intelligence Building Blocks for an Architecture of Motivated Cognition Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree (PhD) in Cognitive Science at the Fachbereich Humanwissenschaften, Universität Osnabrück by Joscha Bach 30th of March 2007 Advisors: Prof. Dr. Hans-Dieter Burkhard Prof. Dr. Dietrich Dörner Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Kühnberger Abstract Computational models of cognitive functioning have become a thriving paradigm in Cognitive Science, yet they usually only emphasize problem solving and reasoning, or treat perception and motivation as isolated modules. A very promising approach towards a broader architecture of cognition is the Psi theory of Dietrich Dörner. By dealing with the integration of motivation and emotion with perceptual and reasoning processes and including grounded neuro-symbolic representations, it contributes to an integrated understanding of the mind. The Psi theory supplies a conceptual framework highlighting the interrelations between perception and memory, language and mental representation, reasoning and motivation, emotion and cognition, autonomy and social behavior. However, its origin in psychology, its methodology and the lack of documentation have limited its impact to cognitive modeling. This work adapts the Psi theory to Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, by summarizing and structuring it, by identifying its contribution to understanding cognition, and by providing a technical framework for implementing models of the theory. These goals are reflected in the three parts of this thesis.

  • Soil Science – Science of Past, Present and Future
    Soil Science – Science of Past, Present and Future Metodi Teoharov President of Bulgarian Soil Science Society 1331 Sofia, 7 Shosse Bankya str. Corresponding Author: Metodi Teoharov, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study includes a detailed analysis on the past, present and future of the soil science in the Bulgaria and over the world. Soil science entered in the cycle of scientific discipline serving practice when in 1883 the famous Russian scientist V.V.Dokuchaev established regularities of soil formation. Since then it has emerged as an important branch of biological science and it has become a science of undoubtedly great for public importance. There are different periods how it was developed in Bulgaria and it the rest of the world. In third period is examined Vernadski‟s concept of the Noosphere and relationship with soil science and how „‟the thoughtful layer of the planet” can repairs the consequences of the Technosphere and Anthropocentris. Key words: Soil science, development, periods, world schools, FAO-classification, WRBSR, Noosphere, Technosphere and Anthropocentris. The Beginning Dokuchaev – Founder of the World Genetic Soil Science The science of soils was founded under the name pedology by the world-famous Russian soil scientist V.V. Dokuchaev 133 years ago - after he wrote the major work “Russian Chernozem” in 1883. In it he proved the genetic origin of soils and the regularities of their distribution. Dokuchaev wrote that “the soils are the result of extremely complicated interaction of the local climate, the plant and animal organisms, the composition and structure of the parent rock and in the end the age of the country”.
