This study investigated the brain regions for the comprehension of implied emotion in sentences. Participants read negative sentences without negative words, for example, “The boy fell asleep and never woke up again,” and their neutral counterparts “The boy stood up and grabbed his bag.” This kind of negative sentence allows us to examine implied emotion derived at the sentence level, without associative emotion coming from word retrieval. We found that implied emotion in sentences, relative to neutral sentences, led to activation in some emotion-related areas, including the medial prefrontal

Implied meaning is not an inherent part of translation, but it is important all the same as no one says everything while speaking. Implied messages are often perceived through shared experiences. To decode and encode an implied cultural meaning calls for a thorough understanding of that culture. The translator should be able to distinguish a consciously implied meaning from an unconscious one. In the former, the locutor passes on the message indirectly but is not ready to accept responsibility for the implied meaning. In the second case, the locutor has no intention to deliberately hide his in

ABSTRACTOn some views of language, when one uses a term to describe or label an object, a contrast is always implied. However, there is an important difference between nouns and adjectives in their contrastive use: adjectives imply a contrast between members of a single noun category, whereas nouns do not imply a contrast between members of a single adjective category. For example, describing a car as new suggests a contrast with other cars. However, labelling it as a car does not as clearly imply a contrast with other new objects. There is no logical necessity for this distinction – it is not

ABSTRACTBased on a careful analysis of the words hui and wei in the oracle inscriptions, the author comes to the conclusion that they are most naturally explained as grammatic particles (xuci). Hui should be interpreted as highlighting that which is the main interest of the inquiry. Wei is very similar in meaning and grammatic function, but not in nuance of connotation; while hui is “closely connected with the manner of affirmation” and occurs mostly in divinations of a positive nature, wei tends to occur in a context of negation and inauspiciousness.The distribution of the two particles throu

The Song of Songs, as a poetic dialogue between two lovers, presented literally minded biblical commentators with a thorny exegetical dilemma: either accept the presence of a purely erotic text in scripture, or make the case for a literal reading that was figurative. Like early modern exegesis of the Song, poetic recapitulations of this biblical book, such as those by William Baldwin, Francis Quarles, and Robert Aylett, rely on complex figural reading practices to substantiate a spiritual meaning not directly implied by the biblical text. But this dependence on human words to secure the relati

Full textAbstract:
In its original meaning, the word ‘rational’ referred to the faculty of reason—the capacity for reasoning. It is undeniable that the word later came also to express a normative concept—the concept of the proper use of this faculty. Does it express a normative concept when it is used in formal theories of rational belief or rational choice? Reasons are given for concluding that it does express a normative concept in these contexts. But this conclusion seems to imply that we ought always to think rationally. Four objections can be raised. (1) What about cases where thinking rationally has disast

Full textAbstract:
This papers deals with Zhang Ailing’s (1920-1995) posthumous novel, Xiao tuanyuan 小团圆 (Little Reunions), written in the ’70s of the last century but completed just before her death, finally published only in 2009, which is an example of the continuous manipulation of the same narrative materials used in previous works, and re-presented here through a politics of self-translation and self-intertextuality. In translating this novel one is confronted with a complex “mosaic of quotations” as Kristeva says, and self-quotations, and is dragged into a forest of meanings derived from the juxtaposition of a variety of external ‘voices’ that mix up with the internal voice of the author. This Bachtinian or babelian quality of the novel, in other words its pluri- and interdiscursivity, challenges the translator, who is called not only to reconstruct the original sources of the allusions, but is also caught between the need of disambiguation and the respect of the intertextual connections implied by the text; he/she has also to cope with the deliberate narrative fragmentation adopted by Zhang.

Full textAbstract:
When Alice faces the extraordinary Wonderland notions of saying what you mean and meaning what you say, she confronts language's great potential and disappointment. Words should, but do not always, mean what they say; and we who use them do not always produce what we mean. If only we could point to a direct correspondence between each word and only one exact meaning! Reading would simplify in a flash. Ah, but what we might gain in exactness and dazzling clarity, surely we would lose in flexibility, nuance, suggestiveness, and contextual richness. It's good that words have such a wide range of meanings and uses; as such they enrich our capabilities as earths highest life forms and its most competent communicators. Knowing the possibilities of language, understanding the many qualities of words and how our language depends on them, can enhance your child's attempts to determine meaning from print. In the long climb up the mountain to word mastery, a major feature of language that you can help your youngster understand is that words often mean more than they say. Certainly, words have denotative meanings. That is, words have exact definitions that you could check easily in a dictionary. A jeep is a heavy-duty, four-wheeled vehicle. A communist is someone who believes in a social and political system characterized by common ownership and labor organized for the common good. A frigate is a high-speed, medium-sized war vessel of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Yet each of these words has connotative meanings as well. What a word connotes is what it suggests or implies beyond its actual meaning—including the associations and feelings aroused by the word. A jeep is more than a motor vehicle with four-wheel drive; its connection with the military and rugged outdoor life suggests certain associations—rough riding, speed, even danger perhaps. Your son or daughter might like to ride to school in a jeep just for the fun of it, but you'd have 'been puzzled (to say nothing of your parents!) if your date for the senior prom honked the jeep horn outside your front door when he arrived to pick you up.

Sampson, Fiona. "Abstract Form." In Lyric Cousins. Edinburgh University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474402927.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the abstract form in poetry. For a poet, the notion that abstract form — not ‘meaning’, but pure shape — can play a key role in what they write is seductive. On the one hand, it implies the possibility of developing and experimenting with the kinds of sophisticated formal patterning that we traditionally associate with verse, such as the way stanzas ‘chunk’ a ballad's story, or a rhyme scheme creates a network of meanings that crisscross and link up within a poem. On the other hand, it also appeals to something more primitive. For it suggests that poets can — and perhaps even should — do what could best be described as ‘play’. It implies that they might ‘go by feel’, making judgements — for example about where to end a piece — that are not based purely on semantic logic but pay attention to what ‘feels right for’, or ‘works for’, the poem.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter summarizes the theoretical findings of the book concerning the architecture of grammar. The notion ‘construction’, a systematic correspondence between form and meaning, appeared to be very fruitful in describing the morphology of Dutch. Paradigmatic relations between words, and between words and phrases are essential for the analysis of Dutch morphology. The interaction between inflection and derivation in Dutch implies rejection of the split morphology hypothesis. A proper theory of morphology requires us to conceive of the grammar and the lexicon of Dutch as forming a multidimensional network of relations between (morphological and phrasal) constructional schemas of various degrees of abstractness, between these abstract schemas and the individual words and phrases by which they are instantiated, and between individual words and phrases. The detailed study of one subsystem of one language, the morphology of Dutch, gives us insight into the kind of conditions of adequacy that any theory of the architecture of grammars of natural languages must meet.

Full textAbstract:
In propositional logic, atomic formulas are propositions. Any assertion will do. For example, . . . A = “Aristotle is dead,” B = “Barcelona is on the Seine,” and C = “Courtney Love is tall” . . . are atomic formulas. Atomic formulas are the building blocks used to construct sentences. In any logic, a sentence is regarded as a particular type of formula. In propositional logic, there is no distinction between these two terms. We use “formula” and “sentence” interchangeably. In propositional logic, as with all logics we study, each sentence is either true or false. A truth value of 1 or 0 is assigned to the sentence accordingly. In the above example, we may assign truth value 1 to formula A and truth value 0 to formula B. If we take proposition C literally, then its truth is debatable. Perhaps it would make more sense to allow truth values between 0 and 1. We could assign 0.75 to statement C if Miss Love is taller than 75% of American women. Fuzzy logic allows such truth values, but the classical logics we study do not. In fact, the content of the propositions is not relevant to propositional logic. Henceforth, atomic formulas are denoted only by the capital letters A, B, C,. . . (possibly with subscripts) without referring to what these propositions actually say. The veracity of these formulas does not concern us. Propositional logic is not the study of truth, but of the relationship between the truth of one statement and that of another. The language of propositional logic contains words for “not,” “and,” “or,” “implies,” and “if and only if.” These words are represented by symbols: . . . ￢ for “not,” ∧ for “and,” ∨ for “or,” → for “implies,” and ↔ for “if and only if.” . . . As is always the case when translating one language into another, this correspondence is not exact. Unlike their English counterparts, these symbols represent concepts that are precise and invariable. The meaning of an English word, on the other hand, always depends on the context.

Taylor, David Francis. "The Literariness of Graphic Satire." In The Politics of Parody. Yale University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.12987/yale/9780300223750.003.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter discusses the literariness of graphic satire. First applied to visual satire in the mid-nineteenth century, the term graphic satire problematically implies a straightforward formal equivalence between the modern editorial cartoon and the political caricature of the Georgian period, which was published and disseminated as a single-sheet etching. However, the fallacy that such images yield their meaning directly and near instantaneously is an old one. To speak of the literariness of caricature is to recognize and attend to its syntactical and narrative structures: structures that are themselves constituted through the enmeshing of images and words; the appropriation and parody of literary scenes and tropes; and often-dense networks of allusions to other cultural texts, practices, and traditions. It is also necessary to acknowledge that a print's meaning and sociopolitical orientation comes into focus only when seen in relation to the cultural constellation of which it was a vital and highly self-conscious constituent.

Bou Ali, Nadia. "Why is There Lalangue Rather than Nothing? Love of Lugha and Lalangue." In Psychoanalysis and the Love of Arabic. Edinburgh University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474409841.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
The chapter argues that the work on lugha in the late nineteenth-century was driven by the need to hold laghuw at bay. Lugha in its etymology carries the meaning of laghuw: incoherent speech, babble and error.6 In Bustānī’s nineteenth-century Arabic dictionary, it also has the meaning of annulment, erasure and deletion. To be in a state of laghuw is ‘to drink endlessly without being able to quench thirst’.7 In other words, lugha oscillates between pleasure and beyond pleasure, an identifiable object of desire that it constantly addresses and makes present through speech. This would mean that lalangue would represent an adequate translation of lugha – not language as a medium for communication, but the language of the unconscious, in which there is no simple transformation of words into images (or signifier into signified). The chapter analyzes Shidyaq’s linguisteriks through a Lacanian understanding of signification which departs from both socio-linguistics and structural linguistics. Lacan’s account of language as a divisive force implies that there is something that demands to be realised in speech, which appears as intentional, of course, but has a strange temporality and does not have the form of propositional statements. The chapter argues that Bustani’s encyclopedic work and Shidyaq’s literary puns are connected by a prolepsis that characterizes modernity and collapses the distance between science and literature.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter begins with an account of the Blind Man’s defense of Duchamp’s Fountain, using it to make a more general point that inferring intent is central to the aesthetic experience and meaning of art in general, and in highly particular ways in modernist works of art. Inferring intent is inevitable, and it is always uncertain and messy. Modernist works of art highlighted that tension, presenting unclear signs of intent and making uncertainty central to the value of their aesthetic experience. Particularly at modernism’s avant-garde edges, readers and viewers uncertainly perform intent in modernist artworks, an experience which implies a particular argument about the place of intent and fraud in aesthetic experience. The chapter ends with an inductive turn on the basis of this argument, presenting a theory of intent’s function in aesthetic experience, and its relation to ideas of aesthetic autonomy.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents and interprets Constantine Cyril’s script – his Glagolitic Azbuka – from the perspective of the number, i.e. in the matrix form. The matrix interpretation implies an arrangement of letters in columns and rows, i.e. vectors, whereby vectors mean one-column matrices. Such an arrangement of ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands expressed in letters establishes new meaning relations within that script and offers its new reading as a philosophical-symbolic medium. This medium, the vectorial reading shows, demonstrates with itself the purpose of Christianisation intended for it in the 9th century, and not just with the texts realised by it; this script (even today) teaches faith in the triune Christian God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Word that has become the body and the Letter as the evangelical message and will of the Incarnate Word.

Full textAbstract:
“Transmission” is a term used, curiously enough, in both technology and psychology. In the former, it denotes the transfer of messages from one point to another, a view that was principally theorized by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver. Technologically speaking, transmission names the conveyance of information from sender to receiver through a designated channel by means of symbols or signals. This technical formulation of transmission constitutes the operational basis of numerous media technologies. In psychology, transmission is often used to describe the way behavior and symptoms of traumatized parents are transferred to their children, causing transgenerational trauma. Such transmission can be direct or indirect, overt or covert; indeed, transmission of trauma might be the result of either over-disclosure of knowledge and facts, or of under- disclosure, even of persistent silence, which “can often communicate traumatic messages as powerfully as words.” In both technological and psychological uses, transmission denotes a unilateral handing over across space and/ or time. But clearly psychological transmission implies more than the mere delivery of messages: it involves a delivery that exceeds that of meaning or information proper, a transmission taking place as though beyond words, on the affective rather than on the cognitive level. This book has posited media as linking the two senses of transmission above by virtue of the technological capability of effecting impact in excess of message, and contact in excess of content. And nowhere are the stakes in linking technological and psychological transmissions higher than in the mediation of trauma. In this book I have advanced an argument about the deep association of media and trauma. The media discussed here—radio, videotape, television, digital, and virtual—comprise different instantiations of the mediation of trauma: the ways media technologies sustain and convey the experience of unsettling experience. Media reach to the Real, and in so doing make available a register whose registration is of corporeality itself. Bodies find expression through media in the Real, revealing materiality as a common substratum.
