This ebook constitutes the refereed lawsuits of the ninth foreign Tbilisi Symposium on good judgment, Language, and Computation, TbiLLC 2011, held in Kutaisi, Georgia, in September 2011. The ebook includes summaries of three tutorials offered on the symposium including thirteen complete papers that have been rigorously reviewed and chosen from the submissions. The papers are geared up in sections, one on Language and one on common sense and Computation. the variety of themes lined within the Language part comprises typical language syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, frames in common language semantics, linguistic typology, and discourse phenomena. The papers within the good judgment and Computation part disguise such subject matters as optimistic, modal, algebraic, and philosophical common sense, in addition to logics for desktop technological know-how applications.

Example text
The relevant constructions show patient foregrounding. With respect to animacy, it is assumed that foregrounding, in general, is more probable with the animate and less probable with the inanimate. With respect to agent visibility, it is assumed that patient foregrounding is more probable, if the agent is not identifiable, and less probable, if the agent is identifiable. In the following experiments the assumptions are implemented as follows. All settings are equal in that the target picture shows the patient.
We denote this feature by the term Agentivity and define the following rule. A verb expressing states that can be controlled or triggered by the subject itself – a subject that is conventionally close to agentivity – selects the active model, while verbs expressing a state not controlled or triggered by the subject itself select the passive representation model. Therefore, summarizing our argument, we suggest a dynamic model for the choice of the voice in language production. This model reflects the cognitive-semantic grounds for formal-grammatical representations of an active-passive opposition and the medial forms.
Particularly, we argue against the idea that scalar implicatures are automatically generated by the logical form of an utterance. This in accordance with approaches in the literature that try to show that implicatures generally have to be analysed as discourse phenomena (cf. Asher and Lascarides (2003), Geurts (2007), van Kuppevelt (1996)). Already Grice (1975) mentions that implicatures can be discourse dependent without going further into detail. Grice considers discourse structure as one parameter among others, in particular for context dependent particularized implicatures.
