Sanders, Nicholas William. "Forgotten Names." OpenSIUC, 2019. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/2528.
Full textAbstract:
Forgotten Names is a fifteen-minute programmatic work for wind ensemble and electronics. The piece represents my aim to express conceptually the memories of human lives being lost with the passage of time. The two salient vehicles used to convey the concept are melodic motivic development and pre-recorded electronic audio accompanying the ensemble. The prerecorded electronics work in tandem with the ensemble and provide the audience with inferable aural symbolism. These audio samples are to be triggered by a percussionist by using the free, downloadable program, Pure Data along with a performance file provided by the composer. Forgotten Names also draws its influence from similar works by well-known American composers. The pitch material used in this work is derived from On the Transmigration of Souls by John Adams while the formal structure is influenced by Charles Ives’s The Unanswered Question.

I wrote The Names between the summer of 2015 and the spring of 2016. Also, I wrote it between the summer of 2006 and the spring of 2014 (a lot of The Names was taken from my journals [many of the names were taken from my journals (I am speaking of erasure)]). Thus, things happen with time. A train from the office. The rind of an orange, flitting out. I sit down. I am going, I say, to get likes, my bio filled out nicely. Like: What are you doing with your life? And me like: The rind! The rind! The rind! The rind! its meaning fading slowly through the back of the train. In the poem, I am a solitary and joking figure, tender for objects, working in spaces. I look out to the names.

Bench-Capon, Michael G. T. "Empty names." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7907/.
Full textAbstract:
Empty names are names which do not refer to anything. Apparently empty names are used in many different ways, and an analysis which looks good for one kind of use can look bad for another. I aim to get a wide enough angle on the issues that the solutions I propose won’t run into that problem. Chapter one is about names which are empty because they were introduced in the context of mistakes and lies. I see how we can assign truth values to utterances containing such names. I also look at how genuinely empty names could be meaningful at all, and examine how they could fit into a Davidsonian theory of meaning. Chapter two is about mental states corresponding to the names dealt with in chapter one. I try to give an account of how beliefs could be subject to rational norms without appealing to their propositional contents. I do this by showing that puzzles about co-referring names can motivate such an account independently, and that the empty name beliefs can fit into this framework easily. Chapter three is about attitude ascriptions and propositions. I consider different ways of responding to the problem of having propositions but no objects for the propositions to be about. I defend an account involving gappy Fregean propositions, and give a semantics for attitude ascriptions which incorporates them. Chapter four is about the names that occur in fiction. I argue that we should take these to be polysemous between a use referring to an artistic creation and a use primarily suited to pretence. For the first use, I survey proposals for ontologies of fictional characters, and suggest one of my own. To make sense of the second use, I use a two- dimensional semantics, which also helps with the problem of negative existentials.

Hengst, Karlheinz. "Leipzig – slawische Ausgangsform des Namens möglich." Gesellschaft für Namenkunde e.V, 2016. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A16420.
Full textAbstract:
Leipzig – Slavonic origin can be possible. This article is a positive and critical reflection on the opinion of Bernd Koenitz in this volume. The paper is an answer and tries to give acceptable reconstructions also by reason of the historical tradition of the local name Leipzig. The aim is to continue the discussion about the difficulties connected with the interpretation of the historical forms of the local name. Therefore some particularities in the process of reconstruction will be shown. On the one side the experience after a long time of investigations in the field of Slavonic-German contacts allows agreeing with a primary Slavic name formation. But the attempt to reconstruct further derivations of the primary Slavic form of the toponym is refused. Therefore on the other hand more convincing reconstructed Slavic forms are given.

Full textAbstract:
This study looks at English place names in Swedish texts with a focus on which translation strategies are more common today, whether there is a progress from a diachronic perspective from translation to transference, and whether the prominence of each place name affects the chosen translation strategy. The thesis includes a corpusbased study of 299 place names collected from four sources, which were researched in the online newspaper archive found on the website of the National Library of Sweden. A chapter from Rowan Moore’s book Slow Burn City was translated and its use of place names analysed in light of the corpus results. The results showed that transference is the most used strategy today while part-translations and additions are also frequently used. The prominence of a place has been shown to be a determining factor in the chosen translation strategy, with more well-known places being transferred in English than lesser known places. The results varied between the different categories of place names (institutions and facilities, objects and works of art and geographical places) regarding the most frequent strategies in the past with some categories showing a progress from translation to transference, others with even use of translation and transference in the past and finally two categories where English was more common in the past than today.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le premier chapitre de la thèse, nous résumons d’abord les définitions des algèbres Hom-Nambu n-aires (resp. Hom-Nambu- Lie) et algèbres Hom-Nambu n-aires multiplicatives (resp. Hom-Nambu-Lie multiplicatives). Ensuite, on donne,quelques exemples d'algèbres Hom-Nambu de dimension finie. Dans la troisième section du chapitre on rappellela classication des algèbres Hom-Nambu-Lie ternaires de dimension 3 correspondant auxhomomorphismes diagonaux donnée par Ataguema, Makhlouf et Silvestrov dans [12]. Laquatrième section est consacrée aux différentes manières de construire des algèbres n-airesde type Hom-Nambu. On rappelle la construction par twist initiée par Yau. Ensuite on la généralise en une construction d'algèbre n-aire de Hom-Nambu à partir d'une algèbre n-aire de Hom-Nambu et d'un morphisme faible. On s'intéresse aussi à des constructions d'arité plus grande ou plus petite et par produit tensoriel. On montre par ailleurs comment obtenir de nouvelles algèbres n-aires de Hom-Nambu en utilisant les éléments du centroide. La cinquième section est consacrée aux notions de dérivations et de représentationspour les algèbres n-aires. On étudie les αk-dérivations, les dérivations centrales et dansle cas général, la théorie des représentations des algèbres Hom-Nambu n-aires. Nousdiscutons en particulier les cas des représentations adjointes et coadjointes. Les résultatsobtenus dans cette section généralisent ceux donnés pour le cas binaire dans [16, 57]The aim of this thesis is to study representation theory and cohomology of n-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras, as well as quadratic structures on these algebras. It is organized as follows.• Chapter 1. n-ary Hom-Nambu algebras : in the first section we recall the definitions of n-ary Hom-Nambu algebras and n-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras, introduced by Ataguema, Makhlouf and Silvestrov and provide some key constructions. These algebras correspond to a generalized version by twisting of n-ary Nambu algebras and Nambu-Lie algebras which are called Filippov algebras. We deal in this chapter with a subclass of n-ary Hom-Nambu algebras called multiplicative n-ary Hom-Nambu algebras. In Section 1.2, we recall the list of 3-dimensional ternary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras of special type corresponding to diagonal homomorphisms. In Section 1.4 we show different construction procedures. We recall the construction procedures by twisting principles and provide some new constructions using for example the centroid. The first twisting principle, introduced for binary case, was extend to n-ary case. The second twisting principle was introduced for binary algebras. We will extend it to n-ary case in the sequel. Also we recall a construction by tensor product of symmetric totally n-ary Hom-associative algebra by an n-ary Hom-Nambu algebra. In Section 1.5, we extend representation theory of Hom-Lie algebras to the n-ary case and discuss the derivations, αk-derivations and central derivations. The last section of chapter 1 is dedicated to ternary q-Virasoro-Witt algebras. We recall constructions of infinite dimensional ternary Hom-Nambu algebras.• Chapter 2. Cohomology of n-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu algebras : InSection 2.1. We define a central extension. In the second Section we show that for an n-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebra N, the space ∧n−1 N carries a structure of Hom-Leibniz algebra and we dene a cohomology which is suitable for the study of one parameter formal deformations of n-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras. In Section 2.4, we extend to n-ary multiplicative Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras the Takhtajan's construction of a cohomology of ternary Nambu-Lie algebras starting from Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of binary Lie algebras. The cohomology of multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras. The cohomology complex for Leibniz algebras was defined by Loday and Pirashvili.• Chapter 3. Quadratic n-ary Hom-Nambu algebras : In the first section we introduce a class of Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras which possess an inner product. In Section 3.3, we provide some constructions of Hom-quadratic Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras starting from an ordinary Nambu-Lie algebra and from tensor product of Hom-quadratic commutative Hom-associative algebra and Hom-quadratic Hom-Nambu-Lie algebra. In Section 3.5, we provide a construction of n-ary Hom-Nambu algebra L which is a generalization of the trivial T∗-extension. In Section 3.6, we give a construction of ternary algebra arising from quadratic Lie algebra. In Section 3.7, we construct quadratic n-ary Hom-Nambu algebras involving elements of the centroid of n-ary Nambu algebras

Full textAbstract:
Increased host mobility, and multi-homing make IP address management very complex in applications. Due to host mobility, the IP address of a host may change dynamically, and also frequently. Multi-homing leads to multiple IP addresses for a single host. Name-based socket is a solution to address the complex IP address management. It relieves the applications from the overhead, and moves it to the operating system. It uses a constant name, instead of an IP address to establish a connection, thus allowing for the IP address changes during the course of the connection. The current implementation of name-based sockets is on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP restricts the connection to a single path, even when multiple capable paths are available. Multi-path communication provides higher reliability, and increase throughput. Today, multi-path connections are quite feasible, since many hosts are generally multi-homed. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is designed to overcome the restrictions in TCP. It renders the ability to simultaneously use multiple paths between the peers. Thus, it offers higher reliability, and better throughput. One of the aims of this Master’s thesis is coalescing MPTCP and name-based socket to provide a mechanism which handles IP address management issues as well as provides high resilience, and throughput. Another important area of research is to discover ways of providing good user experience with IPv6 addresses. Given that IPv6 deployments are still in its infancy, there are high chances that IPv6 is broken. Hence, it is very important to protect the users from these IPv6 outages and thereby motivate the major websites and service providers to use IPv6. This will in turn help in the global deployment of IPv6. Happy eyeballs is a smart approach to determine the best suitable path from a dual-stack client to a dual-stack server. In order to save the users from IPv6 outages, this thesis work also focuses on implementing happy eyeballs on name-based sockets.

Full textAbstract:
Diversity of a country is often measured by the amount and spread of nationalities that live there. But also within a country, regions vary in their traditions and culture. Cultural homogeneity within communities is mixed up by (internal) migration, that, like international migration, increases diversity of a place. In a novel approach I therefore look at diversity in German municipality associations measured by different family names and investigate the effect it has on the number of generated patents. I show that cultural diversity and openness of a place affect its economic performance positively in terms of innovation also when referring to intra-country differences.

The core of this thesis is divided into three sections: 1) linguistic and historical analysis of parish- and certain settlement-names of Fothrif (west Fife), within the boundaries of the medieval sheriffdom of Fife i.e. 39 parish-names, both obsolete and extant; and all settlement-names, both obsolete and extant, which contain the habitative elements baile, bý(r), caer, dùn, pett, ràth and toun, and the settlement-related element dabhach. These names are set out alphabetically under 33 headings, each heading a pre-Reformation parish. Each of these parishes is prefaced by a set of Introductory Notes, which give a brief history of the development of the parish as an ecclesiastical unit, and relate it to the parish boundaries shown on the O.S. 1" (7th Series) Map. 2) linguistic and historical analysis of all settlement-names recorded before c. 1650 in the combined medieval parishes of St Andrews and St Leonards, (east) Fife. 3) Elements Index containing an alphabetical list of all elements which occur regularly in the place-names listed in sections 1) and 2). Under each element are listed all names which contain that element through the medieval sheriffdom of Fife. The whole is preceded by three introductory chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the geology, geography and history of the whole of Fife, with special reference to place-names; it also defines Fothrif and the medieval sheriffdom of Fife. Chapter 2 contains a linguistic history of Fife, as revealed by the onomastic evidence. Special attention is paid to the interaction between Pictish and Gaelic, and between Gaelic and Older Scots. It also discusses a range of Gaelic linguistic features manifested by the place-names. Chapter 3 discusses the habitative elements baile, pett, dùn, caer, ràth and lios, especially the relationship between baile and pett, and the phenomenon of Pit-/Bal-substitution; attempts some conclusions about the nature of early medieval settlement in Fife; and adumbrates areas of further research in other parts of former Pictland not yet subjected to detailed onomastic analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Identifier names are the principal means of recording and communicating ideas in source code and are a significant source of information for software developers and maintainers, and the tools that support their work. This research aims to increase understanding of identifier name content types - words, abbreviations, etc. - and phrasal structures - noun phrases, verb phrases, etc. - by improving techniques for the analysis of identifier names. The techniques and knowledge acquired can be applied to improve program comprehension tools that support internal code quality, concept location, traceability and model extraction. Previous detailed investigations of identifier names have focused on method names, and the content and structure of Java class and reference (field, parameter, and variable) names are less well understood. I developed improved algorithms to tokenise names, and trained part-of-speech tagger models on identifier names to support the analysis of class and reference names in a corpus of 60 open source Java projects. I confirm that developers structure the majority of names according to identifier naming conventions, and use phrasal structures reported in the literature. I also show that developers use a wider variety of content types and phrasal structures than previously understood. Unusually structured class names are largely project-specific naming conventions, but could indicate design issues. Analysis of phrasal reference names showed that developers most often use the phrasal structures described in the literature and used to support the extraction of information from names, but also choose unexpected phrasal structures, and complex, multi-phrasal, names. Using Nominal - software I created to evaluate adherence to naming conventions - I found developers tend to follow naming conventions, but that adherence to published conventions varies between projects because developers also establish new conventions for the use of typography, content types and phrasal structure to support their work: particularly to distinguish the roles of Java field names.

Wykes, Emily Jay. "The racialisation of names : names and the persistence of racism in the UK." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2013. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/13816/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that despite claims that the UK is a post-racial society, (sur)names are understood in a racialised way. 31 semi-structured interviews and one survey-based interview were conducted. 29 of the 32 participants had changed their surname from one they perceived to be symbolically representative of their own embodied racial identity to one that they felt was not, or vice versa. This thesis claims that some (sur)names are socially constructed as invisible and normal, i.e. white British, whilst ‘Other’ names are deemed foreign and highly conspicuous. It is asserted that (sur)names inform stereotypes of a person’s embodied racial appearance. The confusion and intense interest encountered by the name-changers in relation to a perceived disjuncture between their embodied racial identity and the racialised categorisation of their name, exposes processes of racialisation. Name, embodied racial appearance and accent interact in different ways and contexts in deciding how a person is racialised and what their access is to the privilege associated with the majority identity of white Britishness. It is suggested that names are racially hierarchized according to the racial and/or national identity that the name is seen to represent. The thesis uses literature on race, racism, whiteness, racial passing, inbetween people and nationalism, in order to explore the racist and nationalist undertones of many participants’ encounters in regard to a racial disjuncture between name and body. Whilst supporting the point that race is a social construction rather than biological fact, the thesis nonetheless asserts that difference is conceived not just in terms of culture but in relation to embodied notions of race. Names should be acknowledged as being an important marker of biological conceptions of race. Race is still common currency in the UK, and this matters because power is differentially attributed within racialisation processes. Racism is not over.

Full textAbstract:
File access over the Internet adds a whole new dimension to the continuously evolving World Wide Web. Considering its significance in the big picture, there exists a need to provide a completely secure and exible way to share and access content existing on a file host web server somewhere over the Internet. A number of access control mechanisms attempt to do this with moderate success with most of them lacking the ability to allow sharing of information to unauthenticated users and adequate file-based access control capabilities. Capability File Names provide a new and completely unique access control mechanism that uses file names as a means to store access control information against files on a remote location and allows a user unhindered access to his files along with the capability to delegate rights as deemed necessary. The aim of this thesis project has been to develop a prototype implementation that makes use of Capability File Names as a way to control access to files and folders placed on an HTTP Web Server over the Internet. It involves a Linux implementation on the client-side using "FUSE" (Filesystem in Userspace) with a server-side implementation using Java Server Pages (JSP). The access control features have entirely been implemented on server side with the client user only needing the Capability File Names pointing to the original files on the server to gain access to them. In addition to the server and client applications, there is a separate utility provided to the user hosting the server allowing generation of Capability File Names against files located on the server.

Ekonomiškai temperatūrą valdanti sistema turi tiekti šilumą ten kur tuo metu ji yra reikalingiausia ir minimaliai sumažinti ją ten kur ji nėra reikalinga. Tačiau bet kuriai temperatūros valdymo sistemai, tam, kad ji optimaliai valdytų temperatūrą reikalinga žinoti kokia temperatūra yra realiu laiku strategiškai svarbiuose patalpos taškuose. Našus ir greitas temperatūrinės informacijos surinkimas iš įvairių patalpų yra svarbus dalykas ne tiktai šildymo, vėdinimo, kondicionavimo procesams, bet taip pat gali būti naudojama kaip apsauga nuo gaisro. Tačiau iškyla problema – kaipgi stebėti visas temperatūras realiu laiku ir vienoje vietoje? Taigi pagrindinis darbo tikslas yra sukurti temperatūros stebėjimo sistemą, kuri yra sudaryta iš techninės ir programinės įrangos, būtų lengvai įdiegiama ir pritaikoma įvairioms patalpomis arba technologiniams procesams. Ši systema bus paprasta ir nebrangi, tačiau funkcionalumu nenusileis sudėtingoms programoms. Šiame darbe buvo išanalizuota jau egzistuojanti temperatūros stebėjimo sistemų programinė įranga, pabrėžiant jos privalumus ir tr��kumus. Atsižvelgiant į analizės rezultatus, buvo sukurta temperatūros stebėjimo sistemos projektas.Smart house system, which economically controls temperature, has to supply heating where it necessary at this time and reduce to minimum where it is not necessary. To control temperature optimally, every temperature control system has to know what temperature is in the real time at strategically important room places. Efficient and fast collection of temperature information from various house places is a matter of substance not even in processes of heating, ventilation and air conditioning but also can be used as a preventive mean from fire. But there is a main problem – how to know and observe all temperatures in real time, in one place? So the main aim of research is to design temperature monitoring system, which consists of hardware and software, would be easy installation, adapted for various accommodations or technological processes. This system would be simple and cheap, with it’s functionality would be equal with another sophisticated systems. It was analyzing properly existing temperature monitoring systems’ software at this work and marked its’ merits and demerits. It was created temperature monitoring system project.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I present a critical study of fiction, focusing on the semantics of fictional names and fictional discourse. I am concerned with the issue of whether fictional names need to refer, and also with the related issue of whether fictional characters need to exist, in order to best account for our linguistic practices involving fictional names. Fictional names like ‘Sherlock Holmes’, ‘Anna Karenina’, ‘Emma Woodhouse’ and ‘Don Quixote of La Mancha’ ordinarily occur in different contexts of discourse, in which we think and talk about fictional characters in ways that show that our pre-theoretical intuitions regarding the use of fictional names often tend in opposite directions. Given the conflicting intuitions about our linguistic practices when fictional names are involved, theories of fiction have ended up giving away some intuitions in order to favor others. In the contemporary philosophical debate about fiction, there are two main streams of theories of fiction: irrealist theories that state the lack of reference of fictional names, and realist theories that state that fictional names refer to fictional characters. If we assume that fictional names do not refer to fictional characters, as irrealists do, then semantic questions arise regarding how best to make sense of the apparent phenomena of reference and truth in fictional discourse. If, on the other hand, we assume that fictional names refer to fictional characters, as realists do, then semantic questions arise concerning the contexts of discourse in which there is reference and truth about fictional characters, together with metaphysical questions about the nature of those characters. This dissertation consists of six chapters. After presenting the data and desiderata for my research in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2 I address what I consider to be two of the most influential irrealist proposals, Kendall L. Walton’s (1990) and Mark Sainsbury’s (2005 and 2009). Both proposals make sense of fictional names and fictional discourse without invoking fictional entities. In Chapters 3, 4 and 5 I address three main realist theories of fiction, according to which fictional names refer to fictional characters: Meinongianism, Possibilism and Creationism. Even if the three theories endorse the ontological claim that there are fictional entities, they disagree
about the metaphysical nature of such entities. After arguing for pros and contras with respect to the semantic account of fictional names and discourse put forward by any such realist view, I endorse the realist stance known as creationism. The label ‘creationism’ is used in philosophical jargon to denote a family of theories that hold the metaphysical thesis that fictional characters exist as artefacts, really created by authors in making works of fiction, and so really existing; they are not concrete individuals (they are not real people, places, animals, or whatever) as they do not have a spatio- temporal location – they are abstract. In chapter 6 I put forward arguments in favor of creationism that are not broadly metaphysical in nature, but are instead founded in our understanding of storytelling practices and fictional discourse. My research focuses on the issues of how and when we refer (mentally and linguistically) to fictional characters, assuming that they are abstract created artefacts. In the view I defend in this dissertation, fictional names – as much as ordinary non-fictional names – play two crucial roles, one semantic and the other cognitive: on the one hand, they provide a particular individual as their semantic contribution to the meaning of the sentences in which they appear; on the other hand, they are triggers of significance for our cognitive minds. Fictional names are rated as directly referring expressions, leading to singular thoughts and de re pretendings about fictional characters. This view on fictional names accounts for the object-directedness of thoughts and discourse about fictional characters.El punto de partida de esta disertación es un análisis semántico de los enunciados que contienen nombres de ficción, como ‘Sherlock Holmes es un brillante detective’, ‘Sherlock Holmes no existe’ o ‘Sherlock Holmes es un personaje de ficción’. El problema semántico fundamental que postulan dichos enunciados podría sintetizarse de la siguiente manera: ¿cómo es posible explicar la intuición de que tales enunciados dan lugar a usos lingüísticos significativos e, incluso, verdaderos, aun cuando parezca que uno no está hablando acerca de nada o nadie real? Esta disertación consta de seis capítulos. Después de presentar los datos y los objetivos de mi investigación en el Capítulo 1, en el Capítulo 2 analizo las que considero ser dos de las propuestas irrealista más influyentes, la de Kendall L. Walton (1990) y la de Mark Sainsbury (2005 y 2009), que ofrecen un análisis de los nombres de ficción, y a la vez de los enunciados en los que aparecen, sin invocar entidades ficticias. Posteriormente, analizo las tres principales teorías realistas sobre la ficción, es decir el Meinongianismo, el Posibilismo y el Creacionismo. Si bien las tres teorías comparten la asunción ontológica de que sí hay entidades ficticias, discrepan no obstante acerca de la naturaleza metafísica de tales entidades. Los capítulos 3, 4 y 5 están dedicados a un análisis detallado de los pros y los contras de cada una de estas teorías realistas, con respecto al análisis semántico de los nombres de ficción y de los enunciados en los que aparecen. Finalmente, en el Capitulo 6 asumo la teoría ontológica y metafísica conocida como creacionismo, según la cual los personajes de ficción existen en la realidad como artefactos creados por la actividad artística de los autores. En este último capitulo, presento varios argumentos a favor del creacionismo que no son de carácter metafísico, sino más bien de carácter semántico y cognitivo. Desde un punto de vista semántico, defiendo la tesis de que los nombres de ficción son términos singulares que refieren a objetos ficticios, y que los enunciados en los que aparecen expresan proposiciones singulares, constituidas en parte por tales objetos ficticios. El análisis semántico se complementa con el análisis cognitivo de los nombres de ficción, y de los mecanismos que subyacen a los usos de dichos nombres.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of my thesis is to explore and assess recent efforts by Direct Reference Theorists to explain the phenomenon of empty names. Direct Reference theory is, roughly, the theory that the meaning of a singular term (proper name, demonstrative, etc.) is simply its referent. Certain sentences, such as negative existentials ("Santa does not exist"), and sentences in contexts of fiction ("Holmes lived on Baker Street"), present the following challenge to DR Theory: Given that the semantic value of a name is simply its referent, how are we to explain the significance and truth-evaluability of such sentences? There have been various approaches DR Theorists have taken to address this problem, including the Pragmatic Strategy, Pretense Theory, Abstract Object Theory, and the Metalinguistic Strategy. All of these views are analyzed and assessed according to their various strengths and weaknesses. It is concluded that, overall, a Metalinguistic Strategy, supplemented by the notion of pretense, best deals with negative existentials and normal-subject predicate occurrences of empty names, Abstract Object Theory best deals with empty names in meta-fictional contexts, and Pretense Theory best deals with empty names in object-fictional contexts.B.A.

Full textAbstract:
Many functional programming languages rely on the elimination of 'impure' features: assignment to variables, exceptions and even input/output. But some of these are genuinely useful, and it is of real interest to establish how they can be reintroducted in a controlled way. This dissertation looks in detail at one example of this: the addition to a functional language of dynamically generated names. Names are created fresh, they can be compared with each other and passed around, but that is all. As a very basic example of state, they capture the graduation between private and public, local and global, by their interaction with higher-order functions. The vehicle for this study is the nu-calculus, an extension of the simply-typed lambdacalculus. The nu-calculus is equivalent to a certain fragment of Standard ML, omitting side-effects, exceptions, datatypes and recursion. Even without all these features, the interaction of name creation with higher-order functions can be complex and subtle. Various operational and denotational methods for reasoning about the nu-calculus are developed. These include a computational metalanguage in the style of Moggi, which distinguishes in the type system between values and computations. This leads to categorical models that use a strong monad, and examples are devised based on functor categories. The idea of logical relations is used to derive powerful reasoning methods that capture some of the distinction between private and public names. These techniques are shown to be complete for establishing contextual equivalence between first-order expressions; they are also used to construct a correspondingly abstract categorical model. All the work with the nu-calculus extends cleanly to Reduced ML, a larger language that introduces integer references: mutable storage cells that are dynamically allocated. It turns out that the step up is quite simple, and both the computational metalanguage and the sample categorical models can be reused.

Full textAbstract:
The overarching purpose of this collected papers dissertation was to explore the perspectives and experiences related to names in social and professional settings for persons with ethnically identifying names. The first paper was an integrative literature review. The second paper was a qualitative study utilizing the phenomenological approach. Both studies utilized self-presentation theory, while Study #2 added social penetration theory and social identity theory. Self-presentation theory posits that people put forth a public face to show that they possess desirable characteristics to observers. Social penetration theory is centered on the concept of self-disclosure and the notion that people carefully construct their level of disclosure based on the interaction and how they wish it to proceed. Finally, social identity theory puts forth that people categorize others to determine with whom to align themselves and whom to exclude. These theories undergirded the studies and directed the inquiry.
Study #1 reviewed literature to determine if names and self-presentation were studied within HRD. Only one study was found. The extant literature was largely quantitative, focused on job market reactions to applicant names, and assumed characteristics. Overall, the studies were focused on how best to present an applicant based on their name and the possible consequences of self-presentation in undesirable categories (e.g., minority applicants with “unique” or “ethnic” names). The literature indicated that applicants best presented when they utilized names that indicated non-minority ethnicity (e.g. White).
Study #2 explored the opinions, experiences and behaviors of interview participants with ethnically identifying names related to social identity, self-presentation and social penetration. This study consisted of interviewing 15 people of either Asian, African, Caucasian or Latino/Hispanic ethnicity. Findings suggested that names did matter to the participants and that their behaviors and opinions related to their self-presentation and self-disclosure were colored by their experiences as someone with an ethnically identifying name; both professionally and socially.
Overall, the findings of these studies are a starting point into the HRD literature to inform organizational research and practice. Additional research is needed to create a more comprehensive picture of the issues involved and work towards best practices and interventions.

Full textAbstract:
The recent work of D. H. Green and others on the benefits of combining linguistic, archaeological and historical evidence has highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration to early medieval studies. In this context, the Whittlewood Project (WP) lays important foundations for future projects, both in the UK and elsewhere, which seek to understand local settings in greater depth than any single discipline could permit. The WP is a multi-disciplinary project, encompassing not only the research and analysis in this thesis but also the surveys and findings conducted by Dr Richard Jones (archaeologist) and Dr Mark Page (historian), amongst other scholars. The Project focuses on twelve parishes which straddle the county boundary between Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. The general aim is to build a picture of its medieval setting, with particular interest in the chronology of medieval settlement formation and subsequent changes in the way that communities responded to and utilised the landscape. Chapter 2 presents a catalogue of Whittlewood place-name material, of which all names recorded before 1600 are analysed. The major place-names of Whittlewood and the surrounding area are investigated in Chapter 3. The band of parishes around Whittlewood adds context to the work solely on Whittlewood parishes; patterns may be further exploited. Chapter 4 draws from the minor names in this catalogue, weaving together the findings from the archaeological and historical surveys with those of place-names. This thesis provides a framework that can be used to aid future onomastic research projects with a cross-disciplinary focus.

Full textAbstract:
Names and name-binding are useful concepts in the theory and practice of formal systems. In this thesis we study them in the context of dependent type theory. We propose a novel dependent type theory with primitives for the explicit handling of names. As the main application, we consider programming and reasoning with abstract syntax involving variable binders. Gabbay and Pitts have shown that Fraenkel Mostowski (FM) set theory models a notion of name using which informal work with names and binding can be made precise. They have given a number of useful constructions for working with names and binding, such as a syntax-independent notion of freshness that formalises when two objects do not share names, and a freshness quantifier that simplifies working with names and binding. Related to FM set theory, a number of systems for working with names have been given, among them are the first-order Nominal Logic, the higher-order logic FM-HOL, the Theory of Contexts as well as the programming language FreshML. In this thesis we study how dependent type theory can be extended with primitives for working with names and binding. Our choice of primitives is different from that in FM set theory. In FM set theory the fundamental primitive for working with names is swapping. All other concepts such as \alpha-equivalence classes and binding are constructed from it. For dependent type theory, however, this approach of constructing everything from swapping is not ideal, since it requires us to make strong assumptions on the type theory. For instance, the construction of \alpha-equivalence classes from swapping appears to require quotient types. Our approach is to treat constructions such as \alpha-equivalence classes and name-binding directly, turning them into primitives of the type theory. To do this, it is convenient to take freshness rather than swapping as the fundamental primitive. Based on the close correspondence between type theories and categories, we approach the design of the dependent type theory by studying the categorical structure underlying FM set theory. We start from a monoidal structure capturing freshness. By analogy with the definition of simple dependent sums \Sigma and products \Pi from the cartesian product, we define monoidal dependent sums \Sigma * and products \Pi * from the monoidal structure. For the type of names N, we have an isomorphism \Sigma *_N\iso\Pi *_N generalising the freshness quantifier. We show that this structure includes \alpha-equivalence classes, name binding, unique choice of fresh names as well as the freshness quantifier. In addition to the set theoretic model corresponding to FM set theory, we also give a realizability model of this structure. The semantic structure leads us to a bunched type theory having both a dependent additive context structure and a non-dependent multiplicative context structure. This type theory generalises the simply-typed \alpha\lambda-calculus of O'Hearn and Pym in the additive direction. It includes novel monoidal products \Pi * and sums \Sigma * as well as hidden-name types H for working with names and binding. We give examples for the use of the type theory for programming and reasoning with abstract syntax involving binders. We show that abstract syntax can be handled both in the style of FM set theory and in the style of Weak Higher Order Abstract Syntax. Moreover, these two styles of working with abstract syntax can be mixed, which has interesting applications such as the derivation of a term for the unique choice of new names.

Some Americans now believe that a declared prohibition unreasonably limits U.S. capability to counter the national security threats posed by-terrorists, revolutionaries and Third World crusaders. This thesis is an examination of the national security policy dilemma which political assassination presents. Circumstances are conceivable in which utilitarian calculations would endorse assassination as the most moral application of deadly force. Yet the draconian practice of assassination as an instrument of American foreign policy seems to contradict democratic ideals. This thesis details both arguments and draws two major conclusions. First, assassination cannot support long-term U.S. policy goals or warfighting efforts. Ultimately, such methods could weaken America's global position. Second, while assassination has no place in the U.S. warfighting arsenal, the assassination ban itself has become dysfunctional and requires reevaluation. assassination; political assassination; assassination and Fidel Castro; assassination and Patrice Lumumba; Operation Vengeance; Phoenix Program; Executive Order Number 11905; Executive Order 12333

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOREste trabalho tem o objetivo de mostrar que a função básica dos nomes próprios é a função de código e não a função referencial. Embora a função referencial seja uma das funções mais importantes dos nomes próprios, ela é dependente da função de código, ou seja, um nome próprio só pode ser um designador porque em primeiro lugar é um código. Como um código se distingue pelo fato de fornecer informação para um sistema de decodificação, nomes próprios também devem ser considerados informativos. Eles fornecem informação para nossos sistemas mentais de processamento de linguagem. Vê-se assim que a função de código dos nomes próprios só pode ser explicada dentro de uma perspectiva internalista, ou seja, dentro de uma perspectiva que leve em conta os fatores mentais envolvidos no uso de nomes próprios. A análise de nomes próprios feita neste trabalho esclarece quais são esses fatores e é isso que a torna internalista. Tal análise também dá suporte a um certo tipo de descritivismo, segundo o qual o conteúdo descritivo de um nome próprio é o conjunto de informações associadas ao nome quando ele é usado em dada ocasião.
The purpose of this monograph is to show that the basic function of proper names is a coding function and not a referential function. Although the referential function is one of the most important functions of proper names, it is dependent on the coding function, i.e., a proper name can only be a designator because it is a code in the first place. Since a code is distinguished by the fact that it provides information to a decodification system, proper names must be considered informative too. They provide information to our language processing mental systems. So it is possible to see that the coding function of proper names can only be explained from an internalist perspective, that is to say, from a perspective that takes into account the mental factors involved in the use of proper names. The analysis of proper names in this work makes clear what these factors are, and it is this that makes it an internalist analysis. This analysis also supports a certain kind of descriptivism, according to which the descriptive content of a proper name is the information set associated to the name when it is used on a given occasion.

Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for B.A. Honours degree in the Department of African Languages at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1988.The study deals with Zulu names of people as a prominent culture trait of the Zulus. It is a universal pattern of culture that every newly born child IS given a name to identify his nationality, sex and also his personality from any other human being. Although this is common in all rlatlons, each nation has its own unique concept of dOIng it. For example in western countries names are maintained and used In the family generation, that is why we always hear of Elizabeth 11, George V, King Edward VIII etc. As a matter of fact the Zulus, like other nations, follow their own concept In naming their children. With them every person has a number of different names by which he/she is known at home and In the outside world. These names include the first name (which IS given to him/her at his/her birth or a few days after birth) ,his/her clan name and also other additional names he/she acquires as he/she grows up. These names are all given from a particular point of view and sometimes with a particular purpose In accordance with Zulu culture. These names are a subject of this paper.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an analysis of two poems by the American New York School poet Frank O’Hara. The two poems analysed here are “The Day Lady Died” and “Adieu to Norman, Bon Jour to Joan and Jean-Paul.” Both poems have O’Hara’s distinctive ‘I do this, I do that’ style which is characterised by a conversational tone and a narrative of everyday events in New York City. O’Hara’s poetry has long been criticized by the literary community for being targeted to a coterie circle, specifically to his friends and artists in the New York School in the 1950s and early 1960s. Because these criticisms partly derive from the considerable amount of proper names O’Hara includes in many of his poems, the following analysis will be based on the proper names included in the poems. By using two different theories/typologies to analyse the poems, this paper finds the proper name to be a core part of the narrative of the poems and an important source of information for the context in which the poems were written.

„Od początku istnienia komunikacji językowej, w sytuacji nadawania nazwy jakiemuś fragmentowi świata zewnętrznego lub życia wewnętrznego człowieka, pojawiły się różnice semantyczne związane z subiektywnym widzeniem rzeczywistości. Szczególnym subiektywizmem obciążona jest sfera leksykalna języka.” Opis świata dokonany językiem powstał jednak w sposób spontaniczny i naturalny, nie w sposób sterowany. Jednak nazwy, nadawane na przykład sklepom i firmom, wyrażają intencje twórcy nazwy, kreują rzeczywistość, jaka mu odpowiada, a tym samym tworzą „pozorny”, „sztuczny” obraz, który odbieramy.
Właśnie ten „pozorny” obraz świata, zawarty w nazwach, stał się inspiracją mojej pracy, w której chciałabym zająć się sposobem nazywania sklepów i firm w Wodzisławiu Śląskim. Miasto to wybrałam ze względu na fakt, że jestem jednym z jego mieszkańców.
Celem mojej pracy będzie analiza nazw sklepów i firm. Będzie to analiza zarówno opisowa jak i analityczna. Nie chciałabym jednak zapomnieć o pobieżnym scharakteryzowaniu onomastyki i jednego z jej kierunków, a mianowicie chrematonimii. Są to bowiem działy językoznastwa, które zajmują się nazwami. Mam zamiar także zbadać, w jaki sposób nazwy sklepów i firm odzwierciedlają subiektywną rzeczywistość i ją kategoryzują. Przyjrzę się ponadto trendom we współczesnym nazewnictwie, a przede wszystkim jak proces nazewniczy w Wodzisławiu Śląskim kształtuje się na ich przykładzie.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis concerns itself with the phonetic realisations of Welsh place-names and is based on a large corpus of Welsh place-names collected in the county of Cardiganshire/Ceredigion (Wales, UK), with extensive references to the pronunciation of Welsh place-names outside the county. After discussing the varying conventions adopted by Welsh phoneticians of the past century and a half, improvements in International Phonetic Association notation for Welsh are suggested. The body of the thesis deals with the main features that characterise the pronunciation of Welsh place-names. Since place-names are anchored both in space and time the study of place-name forms give a dynamic picture of the evolution of language. Some new conclusions on the evolution of the Welsh language are advanced, with suggestions as to the motivation behind these changes. It establishes the connection between the Welsh of the Medieval period and the present-day dialects, and complements K.H. Jackson's Language and History in Early Modern Britain (1953) and J. Morris-Jones' A Welsh Grammar (1913), neither of which dealt methodically with the development of Welsh after the Medieval period. The emphasis on place-names rather than literary texts gives a different - I believe more reliable - standpoint from which to chart phonetic developments in language. The methodical description given to attested phonetic developments in Welsh place-names should constitute a useful tool for toponymists to elucidate Welsh place-names which otherwise seem opaque. By demonstrating the underlying patterns of phonetic development in Welsh the study hopes to dispel the notion that the disconcerting variety of place-name forms are mere dialectisms, localisms, or even corruptions. Included is the corpus of place-names which contains some 15,000 headworks. Each headword is followed by a location by grid-reference, often by a notation of pronunciation phonetic script, by historical forms, and often by a discussion of etymologies.
