DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection brings about a current interdisciplinary debate on explicit communication. With Robyn Carston's pragmatics at the core of the discussion, special attention is drawn to linguistic under-determinacy, the explicit/implicit divide and also to the construction or recruitment of concepts in on-line utterance comprehension.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThoughts and Utterances is the first sustained investigation of two distinctions which are fundamental to all theories of utterance understanding: the semantics/pragmatics distinction and the distinction between what is explicitly communicated and what is implicitly communicated. Features the first sustained investigation of both the semantics/pragmatics distinction and the distinction between what is explicitly and implicitly communicated in speech.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKModels of Communication offers a timely reassessment of the significance of modelling in media and communication studies. From a rich variety of different perspectives, the collected essays explore the past, present, and future uses of communication models, in ordinary discourses concerning communication as well as in academic research. This book challenges received views of communication models and opens up new paths of inquiry for communication research. By zooming in on the manifestations and purposes of modelling in ordinary discourses on communication as well as in theoretical expositions, the essays collected in this volume cast new light on the problems and prospects of models crafted for the benefit of communication inquiry. Complementing earlier studies of models of communication, the volume digs deep into fundamental epistemological and ontological questions concerning modelling in the communication disciplines; but it also presents several novel models that promise to be of practical use in empirical studies of media and communication. The book is intended for communication scholars and students of media and will also be of interest for related disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe nature of truth is a current preoccupation both in political and social debates. The emergence and consequences of fake news and misinformation are at the core of what some call a post-truth world. Divided into two parts, Language and Truth develops the theoretical framework of language, truth, and communication. The book illustrates the way in which fake news is adhered to or rejected using case studies taken from political discourse such as the recent use of the word’s “genocide” and “denazification” by Vladimir Putin. It explores sources of information such as gossip and the everyday as well as exceptional uses of language such as humour. This is vital reading for scholars, researchers, and students of pragmatics, semantics, philosophy of language, cognitive psychology, sociolinguistics, language and communication, and language and politics within linguistics, psychology, and communication studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book departs from the assumption that Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems will provide a maximum advantage by replacing human cognitive processing. Instead, this book subscribes to the assumption that AI systems will provide a maximal advantage when the system is specifically designed to augment human intelligence. It provides methods for designing effective systems that include one or more humans and one or more AI entities and uses the approach that assumes automation does not replace human activity but fundamentally changes the structure of human work when AI is added to existing systems. Integrating Artificial and Human Intelligence through Agent Oriented Systems Design discusses the potential impact of AI on human work and life and explores why teamwork is necessary today for complex work environments. The book explains the processes and methods humans employ to effectively team with one another and presents the elements of artificial agents that permit them to function as team members in joint human and artificial teams. It discusses design goals and illustrates how the methods that have been used to model the complex interactions among human and artificial agents can be expanded to enable the design of interaction between them to make possible the attainment of the shared goals. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools that provide logical designs of human–agent teams, the AI within these teams, training to be deployed for human and artificial agent team members, and the interfaces between human and artificial agent team members are all covered. MBSE files containing profiles and examples for building MBSE models used in the design approach are featured on the author’s website (https://lodesterresci.com/hat). This book is an ideal read for students, professors, engineers, and project managers associated with designing and developing AI systems or systems that seek to incorporate AI.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Law can be viewed as a body of rules and legal sanctions that channel behavior in socially desirable directions - for example, by encouraging individuals to take proper precautions to prevent accidents or by discouraging competitors from colluding to raise prices. The incentives created by the legal system are thus a natural subject of study by economists. Moreover, given the importance of law to the welfare of societies, the economic analysis of law merits prominent treatment as a subdiscipline of economics. This two volume Handbook is intended to foster the study of the legal system by economists. The two volumes form a comprehensive and accessible survey of the current state of the field. Chapters prepared by leading specialists of the area. Summarizes received results as well as new developments."--[Source inconnue].
