Implication as a literary technique in Mohamed S. Mohamed`s novels: Kiu and Nyota ya Rehema

Khamis, Said A. M. 09 August 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Reading Mohamed´s novels Kiu (`Thirst´; 1972) and Nyota ya Rehema (`The Star ofRehema´or `The Destiny of Rehema´; 1976), one is struck by abundant use of `implication´ technique. Implication is regarded as a feature that is statistically more frequent in poetry than in prose, hence the presence of this technique in abundance in Mohamed´s idiom, renders it a quality of poetic prose. The purpose of this paper is therefore to show how various linguistic features are used as vehicle for the realisation of the implication technique used to create exponents for the semantic structure in his novels. Exponents as literary devices need not be implicit as in Mohamed`s idiom, however if used implicitly, they form an artistically engineered correlation with literary substance of the novel and gives it a certain quality that affects our `attitude´ and `judgement` towards it. Hence in this paper we hold it that the reader`s involvement in the interpretation of the novel eventually entails the decoding of the corpus for the externalisation of the literary substance. A reader who is fully involved in the interpretation and processing of implied meaning(s) in the novel, digs into its semantic structure by condation and deduction and comes out with more lasting impressions than he would if he were to deal with a less subtle or totally explicit idiom that may be regarded as plain and spoon-feeding.

Automatic Construction of Implicative Theories for Mathematical Domains

Revenko, Artem 05 September 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Implication is a logical connective corresponding to the rule of causality "if ... then ...". Implications allow one to organize knowledge of some field of application in an intuitive and convenient manner. This thesis explores possibilities of automatic construction of all valid implications (implicative theory) in a given field. As the main method for constructing implicative theories a robust active learning technique called Attribute Exploration was used. Attribute Exploration extracts knowledge from existing data and offers a possibility of refining this knowledge via providing counter-examples. In frames of the project implicative theories were constructed automatically for two mathematical domains: algebraic identities and parametrically expressible functions. This goal was achieved thanks both pragmatical approach of Attribute Exploration and discoveries in respective fields of application. The two diverse application fields favourably illustrate different possible usage patterns of Attribute Exploration for automatic construction of implicative theories.

Zwei Theorien über Konditionalsätze

Guhe, Stefan 31 January 2005 (has links)
Die Dissertation behandelt die Zusammenhänge zwischen den beiden einflußreichsten neueren Theorien über die Logik von Konditionalsätzen: der auf die Mögliche-Welten-Semantik zurückgreifenden, primär für konjunktivische Konditionalsätze entwickelten Theorie von David Lewis und derjenigen von Ernest Adams, die primär für indikativische konzipiert wurde und in der Tradition des Bayesianismus steht. Bei dem Versuch, beide Theorien auf den indikativischen Bereich anzuwenden, erwiesen sich die Lewisschen Trivialitätstheoreme als schwerwiegendes Problem. Die wichtigsten der in der Literatur vorgeschlagenen Lösungsansätze (z.B. diejenigen von V. McGee, B. v. Fraassen und F. Jackson) werden in der Dissertation ausführlich erörtert und als unbefriedigend zurückgewiesen. In diesem Kontext findet auch eine Diskussion von McGees Kritik an der generellen Gültigkeit des Modus-ponens-Prinzips statt. Anschließend wird dargelegt, warum Adams´ Versuch, seine Analyse auf konjunktivische Konditionalsätze anzuwenden, scheitert und daß aus sehr ähnlichen Gründen die kausale Entscheidungstheorie von A. Gibbard und W. L. Harper in ihrer gegenwärtigen Form zu Widersprüchen führt. Der Schlußteil der Arbeit zeigt, daß sich die Zuständigkeiten der beiden Theorien nur auf der Grundlage einer neuen Klassifikation angemessen bestimmen lassen. Die übliche Indikativ/Konjunktiv-Dichotomie muß durch eine auf kontextuelle Kriterien rekurrierende Unterscheidung im Bereich der indikativischen Konditionalsätze in eine Trichotomie überführt werden. Es wird nachgewiesen, daß unter weithin akzeptierten Voraussetzungen zu einer der drei Teilklassen nur solche Sätze gehören, die nicht im selben Sinne wie andere Aussagesätze wahr oder falsch sein können.

Generating implications for design in practice: How different stimuli are retrieved and transformed to generate ideas

Sun, Ying 15 May 2019 (has links)
Design idea generation is a significant part of a designer’s work and most frequently associated with creative problem solving. However, an outstanding challenge in design is translating empirical findings into ideas or knowledge that inform design, also known as generating implications for design. Though great efforts have been made to bridge this gap, there is still no overall consensus on how best to incorporate fieldwork data into the design idea generation process. The generation of design ideas is a process that is rooted in individual knowledge and is often considered a precedent-based type of reasoning, where knowledge is continuously transformed to produce new knowledge and this creative leap across the divide is very difficult. And it is believed that designers could potentially benefit from external stimuli that would provide a starting point or trigger and make the ideas generation more efficient. Most researchers have examined when and what type of stimuli designers used to support design idea generation. Nevertheless, it is still not clear how the different types of stimuli are retrieved and transformed during idea generation phases, and the knowledge transformation during this phases need to be clarified. In order to resolve this issue I conduct an open-ended semi-structured qualitative interview to learn about student and professional designers’ knowledge on how they select stimuli and transform it into design ideas, then compare with professor’s opinions. The interview would be conducted in terms of one-on-one face to face or online interview depending on the availability and accessibility of the interview respondents which would be audio recorded. Knowing more about how different designers, especially professional designers, to retrieve and transform preferred stimuli into ideas, and the design thinking involved in the process, is a significant step towards investigating the influence of stimuli during idea generation. Ultimately, I intend to build a general mechanism for designers to conduct an appropriate selection of functionally useful stimuli to transfer empirical findings to knowledge that inform design. The results try to help professional designers get more scientific structure, give student designers Visual Knowledge Media more practical guidance, but also help design education refine design idea generation methods and improve resulting techniques to discover a dynamic balance among theory and practice.
